...of a problem with the primary aircraft--so it is not unusual per se for the second plane to be nearby, but the story turns ridiculous when he says, "to honor our brave men and women of the Military, we are sending the brand new, and truly spectacular, Air Force One to Mildenhall Air Force Base, in the United Kingdom, to give them a chance to tour the Aircraft."
Why would he bother letting "suckers and losers" tour his "truly spectacular" aircraft? And, if he was headed to Mildenhall anyway then why switch planes?
No, there's an issue they don't want to disclose--and probably shouldn't considering national security. Now, they are out there in a world they have made more hostile with only one truly functional VC-25 and another 747 that doesn't have the requisite systems to truly protect the President.
THAT is a major screwup by everyone in the chain of command. One that demands investigation by congress.
But it is hilarious that they would concoct such an obviously ridiculous on-its-face cover story. Who do they think they are fooling?
