Trump Swaps Air Force One Jets

President Trump unexpectedly flew back from Turkey on an old Air Force One, while the new jet was sent to a UK base for troop tours. The reason for the swap is unclear, but there have been concerns over the defensive capabilities of the new VC-25B aircraft. Why it matters: The swap raises questions about the readiness and capabilities of the new Air Force One, which is a critical component of the President's transportation and communication systems.
