Getting high on Air Force One! Boeing red-faced after empty tequila bottles found on jet
Boeing reportedly launched an urgent internal investigation after an empty tequila bottle was found inside a top-secret Air Force One jumbo jet that was manufactured at its Texas plant.
Two empty mini-bottles of alcohol were found at the San Antonio Boeing high-security factory earlier this month. A Boeing spokeswoman stated that this was a “personnel issue” and that the company is working to improve quality and production processes. It is reported that alcohol is banned at the Boeing factory, and this discovery is not considered a case of “foreign debris” such as tools or rags that were accidentally misplaced inside the aircraft during the production of the aircraft. It is not clear if the person who dropped the bottles there has been identified. The aerospace giant is currently developing two identical presidential jets. According to The Wall Street Journal, these are profoundly modified 747-8 aircraft, known as VC-25B military aircraft, and employees working on the aircraft need a security clearance. This is a rendering of the next Air Force One currently under construction, using a new paint scheme proposed by Trump during his presidency.

According to the newspaper, defense programs like ballistic missiles are just around the corner. There are two exact replicas of the plane under construction and will be built by 2025. Air Force One is a callsign attached to the plane in which the president is in office. However, VC-25B saw the president using them frequently. It’s a year behind the $ 3.9 billion deal agreed in 2018-President Donald Trump and Boeing agreed in 2018.
The current airplane (two identical VC-25A) was introduced in 1990 by former President George HW Bush and is nearing the end of its useful life. After former President Donald Trump revealed a new color scheme for jets while running the country in 2019, aerospace watchers want to know more about what the new plane will look like. He changed the painting scheme of the plane to a “more American” of red, white and navy blue instead of the iconic duck egg blue, white and gold scheme chosen by former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy in the 1960s. bottom. President Joe Biden has not made a comment on it yet and hasn't said anything about commented on whether to abolish Trump’s color scheme and stick to the original designed by Jackie Kennedy. At the January press conference, White House spokesman Jen Psaki confided questions about the painting job, saying the president was too busy with Covid-19 to think about it. According to aviation experts, the underside of the light blue of today’s jets acts as a camouflage when in the air, as it helps the plane blend into the sky.
