    That's right nobody could coverup a 747 and a golf course.

    But, again, just like the Statue, David Copperfield might be able to.

        I'm actually confused on how it will be used as Air Force One. Like... the actual AF1 is a massive military aircraft with endless classified bells and whistles for communications, air defense such as countermeasures, etc. Are they going to just attach all these things onto the wings of this Air Qatar?

          I suspect the Air Force is just as confused as you are.

            Yeah it'll never happen, IMO.

            Air Force One has the ability to refuel midflight, all of its wirings are encased so that it can withstand an EMP attack, heck... there are multiple Air Force Ones that often fly together, one as a backup in case the primary plane has issues.

              It’ll probably be used for non-presidential stuff until Trump leaves office then it will be his new Griftstream V.

                      It wouldn't be used as-is for AF1. It would be outfited as AF1 by the American military, and that would take a while.

                        Maybe the Qatari plane exceeds the AF1 standard.

                          Probably exceeds the threshold of top secret American government communications provided to Qatar, if that's what you mean.

                            Wasn’t there a sculpture or something that the Soviets tried to give the American Embassy in the 70’s that was all filled with electronic surveillance apparatus?

                              I think it was the whole embassy. LOL

                              WHen the US was building its new embassy in Moscow, it had to be teared down when it was part completed and they flew in US construction guys to build it from the ground up.
