The core narrative of this topic, summarized from reporting across multiple outlets. This captures the key facts that most outlets agree on.

President Donald Trump unveiled a converted Boeing 747-8 at Joint Base Andrews as the new Air Force One, showing off a formerly Qatari-owned luxury jet accepted by the U.S. government as a gift. The aircraft, valued at about $400 million, has been modified into a presidential plane and features a darker navy-and-red exterior that departs from the traditional Kennedy-era blue design. Trump praised the jet’s size and luxury, saying it was built at a level that “will probably never be seen again,” and said it would be used in a July 4 flyover tied to the nation’s 250th anniversary. The gift from Qatar has drawn controversy, but the White House presented the plane as the next major addition to the presidential fleet.
