Retrofitted Qatari jet takes flight as Air Force One for Trump's trip to North Dakota

President Donald Trump has taken his maiden voyage on a new Air Force One. Trump's plane landed in North Dakota on Wednesday morning. The retrofitted Boeing 747-800, worth $400 million, was a gift from Qatar. Gone is the trademark light blue hull that helped Air Force One blend into the sky. The refurbished jet is painted in Trump’s preferred color scheme: a navy-blue belly with red and gold stripes. It has luxury features like plush carpets, lie-flat seats, wood paneling and a presidential seal on the seat belts. Trump is in North Dakota visiting the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, which opens on the nation’s 250th anniversary.
