Most journalists traveling with the U.S. president cannot see the interior of the Air Force One (President Jet).

The news cabin is located at the rear of the plane and can be reached by rear steps and quick turns.

To reach the presidential suite at the front of the plane, negotiations are required with the Armed Secret Service agent in the cabin next door.

The future of famous aircraft is a huge conversation point during this week’s Donald Trump’s trip to the Middle East, with Fox News host Sean Hannity having priority seats and contacting the president for flight interviews.

But everyone else in our travel news pool was commissioned to a small portion of the plane.

It was a whirlwind tour, which struck three countries in three nights, half the world. The president described it as a “endurance test,” which his staff and those of us in our news pool must also manage.

But the President’s Jet is not a good way to fly. These 14 seats are comfortable and roughly comparable to first-class domestic flights.

There is a bathroom and a table for snacks (including the coveted Air Force single brand M&M with the president's signature and is unavailable anywhere else).

The cabin has a pair of TV monitors - usually tuned to the president's preferred cable news channel (CNN during the term of Joe Biden; Trump's Fox News). Sometimes, they are set up as a football game or other sports event.

For longer flights, the onboard kitchen offers plated meals (the president eats from a different, more exotic menu). On short hops, there are usually food in takeaway bags.

But if Trump accepts Katari's new "Palace of Sky" (the largest foreign gift ever made by the U.S. president), the interior of the famous plane will soon undergo radical modifications.

Technically, the “Air Force One” is a radio logo that is designated by any Air Force aircraft of the U.S. Presidential ship. Lyndon Baines Johnson's small prop plane from Austin to his Texas ranch in the 1960s was also Air Force One.

However, most of the Air Force's pictures are one of the Harrison Ford action movies, which are 747-200b, water blue, steel blue and white paint with chrome underneath - a color scheme that was picked in 1962 by First Lady Jackie Kennedy.

Currently, since 1990, there are two 747 in the Air Force passenger fleet. Needless to say, technology went a long way in the years that followed in aircraft design and everything else. The aircraft has been upgraded, but the cost of maintaining the fuselage and engine is growing. The planes are showing their age.

This obviously angered the current White House residents - the only president who owns his own plane, or for that matter, his own airline before taking office.

"I'm leaving now and boarding a 42-year-old Boeing," he said, exaggerating the age of the plane in an industry briefing in Abu Dhabi on Thursday. "But new ones are coming."

Here comes, but not enough for Trump. In his first semester, he touted a newer presidential aircraft made by Boeing. He even picked his own palette and took Kennedy's designs out in red and blue paint. He proudly showed off the model of the jet in the Oval Office.

Originally planned to be delivered by 2021, delays and cost overruns of an estimated $4 billion construction plan have reduced the likelihood of two new aircraft in Trump's second term, which will expire in January 2029.

He was responsible for tech multimillionaire Elon Musk, who reportedly kept the process privately, and he was embarrassed to travel on such an outdated plane.

This explains why the president is fascinated by the prospect of solving his air transport dilemma more directly - this is provided by the Persian Gulf state Qatar State.

The news of the $400 million 747-8 proposed by Katar was the headline last week, but the gift has obviously started for several months.

Trump secretly visited the plane in mid-February just weeks after the start of his second term.

Apart from the legal and moral concerns of such a huge gift, brought by critics and some of the president's allies, the foreign 747 used by the U.S. president would present many technical challenges.

The aircraft must be refueled on board and modified with exquisite communication and security equipment. The current model's system is built to withstand the electromagnetic pulses of nuclear explosions.

Aerodynamics consulting managing director Richard Aboulafia said it will be until at least 2030.

"They have to assume that the jet has been unattended in dangerous places for 13 years," he said. "That means it's not enough to disassemble the aircraft. You also have to disassemble each component."

The aircraft requires additional power to run its new system and may have to be rescheduled internally. There is no news cabin in the original design of the Flying Palace.

Mark Cancian, senior advisor to the Defense and Security Division of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the cost of such a transformation was easy to calculate $100 million.

However, he added that Trump could give up some or all of the security changes if he chose.

"He is the president," he said.

When the Air Force finally does retire its current crop of 747s, it will grazed an aircraft that has been a historical structure of the United States for decades. In 1995, President Bill Clinton was brought to Israel with former President Jimmy Carter and George W Bush for the funeral of Yitzhak Rabin.

After the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, George W Bush landed in the air for hours in the sky of Air Force One, refueling in the air until his security team determined that he had landed and provided security to the country, before eventually returning to Washington.

Six U.S. presidents traveled on these jets, crisscrossing and visiting every corner of the world. On October 7, a few days after Hamas attacked, he was brought to Israel.

Trump effectively used the plane as a campaign device, held political rally at the airport, and gave a low-speed pass to the crowd before landing, and used the Air Force One way as a dramatic backdrop for his speech.

During Trump's recent trip to the east, military combatants from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE accompanied the Air Force to fly through their national airspace.

While it may be aging, Air Force One remains one of the most well-known signs of power and power in the world for the U.S. presidential power, a military aircraft with higher purpose.

"It's not a luxury," Abrafia said. "It's a flying command post. You don't have parties there."
