High Power, High Costs

Architectural Digest

In history, in January 1943, President Franklin Roosevelt was the first US President to fly to a conference in Morocco while in office in a commercial Boeing 314 Clipper. This led to the creation of the Douglas C-54 Skymaster specifically for presidential purposes. At that time, it could fly up to 4,000 miles and was known as the “Sacred Crow.” At present, on the other hand, the high-flying cost of a modern Air Force One is costly. It boasts an hourly rate most regular people would gladly accept. In order to operate the aircraft, its costs $ 56,000 an hour. Moreover, multiply it by 2 aircrafts then you see the added costs of flying this airborne tank that ever graced the skies.
