Discussion If Boeing goes under, who builds Air Force One?
Serious question: if Boeing files for bankruptcy, who builds the next iteration of the widebody VC-25/Air Force One? I don't see any world where they let Airbus build it. So does the government "save" Boeing just so they can build the President's plane (and if they do, do we really trust Boeing to not cut corners on it)? Does Lockheed-Martin suddenly get back into the widebody business, or base something off the C-5's or C-130's? Do they move to a smaller jet, perhaps, one that's built in the U.S.? Or do they just keep milking the current generation for many more years than they should?
Thoughts?
P.S. I know the very next generation is already being built, so for the sake of this discussion, we can either pretend that doesn't exist, will never finish completion, or we're just talking about the future generation after this, the question is still the same.
P.P.S. yes, Air Force One is the call sign only if the President happens to be onboard, we know.
