Air Force One Keeps Iconic Look - AVweb

I think a restored DeHavilland Comet would do for the current administration. Cheap, taxpayer-friendly transportation that is sufficient for the service that the top echelon of our government offers. If we’re to really give them air transportation that was commensurate with the job they do, I would say an old prop-driven Convair like rock stars use to transport their band members and equipment around would work. Waste not, want not!

What’s the fuel savings on the -8 versus the 400?
I once heard 15%.

Since we’re ranting - whoever wrote the press release didn’t know the difference between vice and versus.
