华盛顿讯——特朗普总统将于周三前往北达科他州，这是他首次乘坐这架全新的空军一号专机。这架波音747-8豪华专机是卡塔尔政府于去年赠送给美国的。
总统于本月早些时候公开了这架耗资4亿美元的专机，它将取代已为多任总统服役30多年的军用版747-2专机。这架卡塔尔赠送的专机预计将服役至2028年新一批波音专机交付美国空军为止。
在此次北达科他州之行中，特朗普先生将参与一场纪念美国建国250周年的火车巡游和欢迎仪式，随后还将参观泰迪·罗斯福总统图书馆。
在启程前于安德鲁斯联合基地发表讲话时，总统纪念了这一时刻，他说道：“这将是我认为可能是有史以来最棒的商用飞机的首次飞行。”

“我对这次首飞感到兴奋，从未有人见过这样的飞机，”特朗普先生说，“他们刚刚完成改装，让它适合总统使用——这意味着加装了安保系统和各种花哨配置，都是非常复杂的技术。但这真的非常了不起。”
总统声称，相较于用其他方式改装，此次专机升级花费纳税人的钱“非常少”。他称这是“一个待我们十分友好的国家送来的礼物”。
美国空军表示，改装过程中优先考虑了作战实用性而非美观性，因此专机的“内部布局改动极小”。白宫通讯主任史蒂文·张在X平台上分享了专机内部的照片，照片显示机内设有大型会议桌、皮质座椅和亮面木质镶板。据机上随行的 pool 记者透露，专机还配备了宽敞的媒体舱，内有带按摩功能的平躺座椅和独立电视屏幕。

特朗普先生指出，旧专机已有30多年机龄，“停在这类新专机旁边，看起来完全不符合我们国家的身份”。
“所以我们真的为这架专机感到自豪，”他说，“整个国家都为此感到骄傲。”

Trump takes first trip on Qatari-gifted Air Force One

Washington — President Trump is traveling Wednesday to North Dakota in what marks his first trip aboard the new Air Force One, a Boeing 747-8 luxury plane gifted to the U.S. by the Qatari government last year.
The president unveiled the $400 million plane earlier this month, which is replacing the military-grade 747-2 that has served presidents for more than 30 years. The Qatari-gifted plane is expected to be used until a new fleet of Boeing planes are delivered to the Air Force in 2028.
On the trip to North Dakota, Mr. Trump is set to participate in a train ride and welcome ceremony to mark America’s 250th anniversary, followed by a visit to the Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Library.
Speaking at Joint Base Andrews ahead of the trip, the president marked the moment, saying, “This will be the first flight of what I think is maybe the greatest commercial plane ever built.”

“I’m excited about the first flight. Nobody’s ever seen anything like it,” Mr. Trump said. “They just completed it, they made it appropriate for a president — that means the security and all the different bells and whistles they put on — very complex stuff. But it’s really quite something.”
The president claimed it cost taxpayers “very little” to upgrade the plane “relative to what it would cost if we did it a different way.” He called it “a gift from a country that’s treated us very well.”
The Air Force said it prioritized operational readiness over aesthetics in its upgrades, leaving the plane’s “interior layout minimally changed.” White House Communications Director Steven Cheung shared photos on X from the plane’s interior, which appeared to show large conference tables, leather seats and some glossy wood paneling. The plane also includes a spacious press cabin, according to a pool reporter onboard, with lie-flat seats that feature a massage function and individual TV screens.

Mr. Trump noted that the old plane was more than 30 years old, and said, “It would be parked next to the new ones like this and it really didn’t look appropriate for our country.”
“So we’re really proud of this,” he said. “The country’s very proud of it.”
