Air Force One Needs 2 New Refrigerators. Together, They Cost $24 Million.


Air Force One must be able to feed passengers and crew for weeks without resupplying, according to the news website Defense One. Two galleys can provide up to 100 meals at one sitting, according to the Air Force. The Defense Department did not respond to a request for comment on Saturday night, and a Boeing spokesman referred questions to the Air Force. Beyond convenience — and refrigerated food — Air Force One carries an array of top-secret communications gear for conducting everyday business and for managing a global crisis while aloft. The Washington Post reported that after making his first trip on Air Force One in January 2017, Mr. Trump appeared to have softened his stance, calling it a “great plane.”
