Multiple outlets report that the next U.S. presidential aircraft—built under Boeing’s VC-25B Bridge program—continues to advance toward delivery during the summer. The aircraft, previously operated in Qatar, has completed required modification work and has finished flight testing following its conversion and outfitting for the VC-25B configuration.
According to the reports, the program is now moving into the final preparation phase for acceptance and delivery. Crews are painting the aircraft in the livery associated with Air Force One, using the red, white, and blue colors. The updates indicate the aircraft remains on track for the planned summer timeline.
Across sources, the shared status points include completion of modifications, completion of flight testing, and the start of painting with the presidential aircraft color scheme. None of the accounts provide additional technical details, schedules beyond “summer,” or operational plans for the aircraft following delivery.
