SGT (Join to see) - Employment for Boeing. I thought this was going to be blocked by the next administration? Things can change.

LTC (Join to see) - I shall be keeping an eye on this and constantly bugging my buddy in Boeing

SGT (Join to see) - I hope they pay the money then get them impounded like the F-16s that the Shah bought but then they were impounded and sold to Israel and then they were used to attack Saddam's nuclear reactor a few years later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWA2pthTBiM This was a great video!

SP5 Christine Conley - If you can't keep up, take notes. In two posts, I provided government sources how that mumber was derived. Do you have better information to enlighten us or merely stirring the pot again!

SP5 Christine Conley - Well, I for one really believe you, but in case anyone else doubt you, please provide something promulgated by the CEO with the projected price.

MCPO Roger Collins - Then there is this. I wait for your correction from Boeing's CEO.

How much will the project cost?

The Air Force has published a budgetary document that says research, development, testing and evaluation of the new Air Force Ones -- officially known as the Presidential Aircraft Recapitalization -- will cost $2.87 billion between fiscal years 2015 and 2021. However, the project is expected to extend beyond 2021, and experts told PolitiFact it would likely require another $1 billion in subsequent years to finish the job. The Teal Group has estimated that the project will require an additional $858 million between fiscal years 2022 and 2026.

That adds up to a grand total of $3.73 billion over 12 years. That’s not "more than $4 billion," as Trump said, but it’s reasonably close -- and it’s no secret that defense contracts have a history of escalating in cost over time. Already, in response to inquiries from the media after Trump’s tweet, an Air Force spokesman told reporters to expect the interim $2.7 billion figure "to change as the program matures."

So as a raw number, Trump’s $4 billion figure is in the ballpark.
