President Donald Trump toured a Boeing airplane to check out new hardware and technology features and highlight the aircraft maker's delay in delivering updated versions of the Air Force One presidential aircraft,

There has been some interesting and mixed news flow around Boeing (NYSE: BA) recently. A Reuters article cited a White House official who stated that deliveries of the two Boeing VC-25B planes that will serve as the next "Air Force One" could be delayed until 2029,

Among the ways being discussed to force faster delivery of two presidential planes are relaxing security clearances for Boeing workers and even purchasing a temporary luxury plane and retrofitting it.

President Donald Trump says he is considering buying used Boeing aircraft — perhaps from an overseas seller — to use as Air Force One when he’s aboard, as he fumes over the U.S. plane-maker’s delays in producing two specially modified ones for presidential use.

The C-17 military transport aircraft has a payload up to 170,900 pounds and a global range with in-flight refueling.
