在登上卡塔尔政府捐赠的豪华喷气式飞机——新版“空军一号”的首航航班时，特朗普分享了他对这架新飞机及其外国制造商的兴奋之情，称美国“造不出这样的飞机”。
“我对这趟首航感到非常激动，”在周三前往北达科他州参加美国建国250周年庆祝活动的行程前，他对记者说道。
这架被无偿赠送的新飞机估值约4亿美元，引发了法律、伦理和国家安全层面的诸多质疑。这架飞机采用了全新的涂装方案——白色、红色和海军蓝，其他改动也让它与特朗普多年来使用的私人喷气式飞机颇为相似。
“他们刚刚完成了这架飞机的建造。他们打造出了适合总统使用的机型，这意味着它配备了安全系统以及各种高端装备。如今它的配置极为复杂，但确实非常了不起，”特朗普说道。
自特朗普宣布将接受卡塔尔赠送的这架飞机以来，该机就一直争议不断。当总统首次公布这份赠礼时，一位知情人士告诉CNN，计划是在特朗普卸任后将这架飞机捐赠给他的总统图书馆。这架飞机已正式赠予美国国防部。CNN已就该机的最终使用方案联系白宫置评。

特朗普预计将使用这架飞机，直到大约两年后美国本土制造的新飞机交付使用。他表示，“从未有过这样的飞机”。
“坦率地说，我们造不出这样的飞机，因为我们不愿意投入必要的资金。而卡塔尔方面投入了巨资，”在谈到卡塔尔时他说道。
特朗普还在周三解释称，在波音公司负责人告诉他这是最好的飞机后，他曾向卡塔尔提出“借用一段时间”这架飞机。随后卡塔尔埃米尔提出将这架飞机直接赠予美国。
特朗普上个月在安德鲁斯联合基地揭幕了这架新飞机，称其为“世界上最豪华的飞机”。飞机内配有可完全平躺的真皮座椅，安全带扣上带有总统徽章。墙壁和地毯均为棕褐色，灯具则采用金色设计。
上个月，白宫官员在社交媒体上告别了经过大量改装的波音747-200型飞机，这架飞机自1990年起一直作为“空军一号”执飞任务。
除卡塔尔赠送的这架飞机外，美国还正在改装两架波音747-800型飞机，将其作为VC-25B型机承担“空军一号”的职责，以填补老旧机型退役和波音公司正在改装的另外两架飞机交付之间的空档期，后者预计还需约两年时间才能完工。

Trump says US ‘couldn’t build a plane like this’ as Qatari-gifted Air Force One embarks on inaugural flight

As President Donald Trump boarded his inaugural flight on the new Air Force One, a luxury jet donated by the government of Qatar, he shared his excitement for the new aircraft and its foreign builders, saying the US “couldn’t build a plane like this.”
“I’m excited about the first flight,” he told reporters ahead of his trip to North Dakota on Wednesday for an America 250 celebration.
The new jet, an unconditional gift estimated to be worth about $400 million, has generated legal, ethical and national security questions. The plane has a new color scheme — white, red and navy blue — and other changes that make it similar to the personal jet Trump has used for years.
“They just completed it. They made it appropriate for a president, that means the security and all of the different bells and whistles they put on. Very complex now, but it’s really quite something,” Trump said.
The plane has been a source of controversy since it was first revealed that Trump would accept it from Qatar. When the president first announced the gift, a person familiar with the matter told CNN the plan was for the aircraft to be donated to Trump’s presidential library after he leaves office. The jet was formally gifted to the Pentagon. CNN has reached out to the White House about what the final plan for the plane is.

Trump, who is expected to use the jet until a new US-built aircraft is finished in about two years, said there has “never been a plane like it.”
“Frankly, we couldn’t build a plane like this because we wouldn’t be willing to spend the kind of money necessary. They spent top dollars,” he said of the Qataris.
Trump also explained Wednesday that he had asked Qatar if he could use their plane “for a period of time” after the head of Boeing told him it was the best one. The president said Qatar’s emir offered to give the plane to the US instead.
Trump unveiled the new jet last month at Joint Base Andrews, calling it “the world’s most luxurious plane.” It has leather seats that recline flat and seatbelts affixed with the presidential seal. The walls and carpets are tan and the light fixtures gold.
Last month, White House officials posted social media farewells to the heavily modified Boeing 747-200, which had flown as Air Force One since 1990.
Two 747-800s are being modified as VC-25Bs to fill the role of Air Force One, in addition to the Qatari jet, to bridge the gap between the old planes and the two additional planes Boeing is modifying that won’t be done for roughly two more years.
