Pro-Trump narrative
The brand new Air Force One, which is truly spectacular, was sent to the Mildenhall base to give America's military heroes a chance to tour plane so they can appreciate the great new addition to the U.S. Air Force.
Pro-establishment narrative
After lawmakers raised concerns about the speed of retrofitting the new plane, this change appears to confirm suspicions as sources said the new plane lacked the security capabilities present in the old one.
