The US Air Force is pushing to speed the delivery of the new Air Force One, service officials said, as President Donald Trump grows more impatient about getting a redesigned plane before his second term ends.
The service is working with partners in the government and commercial sector to accelerate delivery, Lieutenant General David Tabor, the Air Force's deputy chief of staff for plans and programs, and Darlene Costello, the service's acting acquisitions chief, said in prepared remarks to a House Armed Services subcommittee on Wednesday.
