'Last ride': US says goodbye to Air Force One as Qatari jet awaits

Is it goodbye Air Force One, hello Qatar Force One?

White House officials bade farewell on Thursday to one of the two jets that have been used to transport US presidents for more than 30 years.

The goodbye messages fueled speculation that a Boeing 747 controversially gifted to President Donald Trump by the Gulf emirate of Qatar is now due to enter service.

"'Well done, good and faithful servant. 'The Last Ride,'" Trump's communications director Steven Cheung said in a post on X with a picture of the iconic white and blue jet after returning from the G7 summit in France.

For those less familiar with the New Testament, "Well done, good and faithful servant" is from the Parable of the Talents, in the Gospel of Matthew ch 25. The master goes on a trip, leaving his servants with varying amounts of resources; upon his return, he requests an accounting of how they managed the resources -- or not. The verse is often also used as a version of how Jesus will welcome a faithful person after death.

It's not about federal airplanes being swapped for bugged outdated bribery trinkets.
