I came across an interesting blog entry today by Adam Housley, a west coast Fox News correspondent, that talked about a possible replace of the current Boeing Air Force One jet with a new Airbus A380.
His blog states, “The U.S. military is looking at the Airbus A380 as a possible replacement for Air Force One and the C-5 cargo plane. By the way, the Airbus A380 jumbo jet is billions over budget and years behind schedule. Traditionally, Lockheed has run the C-5 program, but maybe the Air Force decided to look around for other offers and ideas outside the United States.”
After searching the net for a second, I came across an article on FlightGlobal.com that re-affirmed what Adam is blogging about.
So, what do you think about the chance a foreign airline maker would provide the air transportation for the president of the US? Do you think Boeing would respond with alternative plans, designs, etc? With the long delay of the first production A380 to Singapore airlines, is this a wise use of time to look at Airbus? Let me know what you think!
