New Air Force One study
Crain's Chicago Business reported Tuesday that U.S. Air Force is considering options for replacing Air Force One.

Boeing will likely face competition from Airbus with its A380.

Tony Robertson Jr., vice-president of Boeing's maintenance, modifications and upgrades division, said the current Bush administration has been briefed on the study, but any decisions on which plane to buy would be made by the next administration, with the goal of getting a new Air Force One into operation around 2017.
