  • The new Air Force One Boeing 747, known as the VC-25B, has suffered yet another setback. Its first flight was pushed back by more than a year and the revised date will hopefully see the upcoming presidential aircraft take its maiden flight in March 2026. It’s hardly surprising news coming from a program that is already extremely over budget and behind schedule.

    At this rate, VC-25B will be eligible for its mid-life upgrade before its maiden flight.

    The 737 max fallout followed by increased oversight and scrutiny from regulators have severely strangled Boeing's manufacturing capability. The new Air Force One's delivery delay is no exception.
