The B742 is just about all phased out, with the B744 and the
B777 doing the majority of the long haul runs of the Boeing line (yes,
the 767 series is there, but doesn't have the range of the 747 and
777), So, what would do you think the US gov't would do for the B742's
version of AF1's replacement? Does the Gov't have a contract with
Airbus, which could present the A380? Would they stay Boeing, and go
B772 (the B773 has a shorter range than the 772)? Which aircraft do you
think should be the next Air Force One? Thoughts? Opinions?

BL.

The US Govt makes employees fly US carriers when possible, they aren't
about to buy a non US plane. Range wouldn't be a problem if they really
need it. After all, AF1 isn't your everyday 747. It can also be refueled
in midair.
