The US Air Force converted a Boeing 747 gifted by Qatar into the new Air Force One, officially called VC-25B Bridge. The plane was completely dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up to ensure security and to fit Air Force One-grade technology. The retrofit was completed in about nine months after the US began work in September 2025.
