How is Your Refrigerator?? You Are Buying Trump's For AF1 $24 Millions
The Model below is not cheap but it wont approch nearly $500. Trump is in the market but that cheap model wont do. After all He is not paying for it. He needs a specialized one for his guests and to keep his KFC chilled until time for the new micro to make it hot and crispy again! But no idea how mcuh that would cost. However The KFC after delivery is only a couple of bills ($100.). Go ahead breathe, after all he is saving the tax payer money by reducing the staff of the Centers for Disease Control. He says American's are a healthy bunch of Nordic people. adamfoxie
A Department of Defense contract for $23,657,671 awards Boeing, the maker of the highly customized 747-200B models that compose the two Air Force One planes, to replace refrigerators and "chillers."
The complex "bespoke equipment requirements" of the plane's interior design and electrical system are said to be the reason behind the massive price tag -- and not just price gouging on behalf of Boeing, Defense One first reported. The two jets are labeled "Air Force One" depending on whether or not President Trump is onboard, and both have been in service since 1990. The seemingly petty requirements for refrigeration -- such as the need to have enough food onboard to last all crew and passengers several weeks -- also adds to the hefty cooling bill.
Great afternoon in Ohio & a great evening in Pennsylvania - departing now. See you tomorrow Virginia!
Although Trump has shown his knack for eating fast food while flying, Air Force One requirements show that at least 3,000 meals must be on the planes at all times. The meals are kept in massive cooling units below the passenger cabin, as Travel & Leisure reports.
"Although serviced on a regular basis, reliability has decreased with failures increasing, especially in hot/humid environments," Air Force spokesman Ann Stefanek told Defense One.
The current refrigerators on the plane are nearly 27 years old. The new chillers are set to be installed by engineers with high-level security clearance by October 2019. In December 2016, Trump claimed he would cancel the creation of Boeing's new 747-8 models because "costs are out of control." At the time, President-elect Trump claimed the Boeing deal for the new planes was "more than $4 billion," but Boeing said it was closer to $170 million.
"We are currently under contract for $170 million to help determine the capabilities of these complex military aircraft that serves the unique requirements of the President of the United States," Boeing responded to Trump in a statement.
Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!
But for now, Trump's Diet Coke and KFC are set to cool on the taxpayer dime.
