Retired Air Force One to Feature at Trump Presidential Library in Miami, Son Reveals

The future presidential library of former U.S. President Donald Trump in Miami will house a retired Air Force One aircraft, according to Eric Trump, one of the former president's sons. This announcement clarifies the type of presidential aircraft that will be a centerpiece of the library, a project planned for downtown Miami.

“

Now they are retiring two Air Force planes, the 2900 and the 29100z. The 2900 will be at the base of that building.

Eric Trump told NBC News that two Air Force planes, specifically numbers 2900 and 29100z, are being retired, with the 2900 designated for the library. He highlighted the historical significance of such an aircraft, connecting it to his father's time in office and state visits during his presidency.

This revelation appears to diverge from earlier statements made by Donald Trump himself. The former president had repeatedly asserted that a luxurious Boeing 747-8, a gift from Qatar and refurbished by the United States, would be donated to his Presidential Library Foundation in Miami. The foundation acquired a valuable piece of land in downtown Miami for the library's construction.

“

There is a great history between everything that (my father) did during his first term and now in the second, and all the state visits.

Eric Trump drew a parallel to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, which displays a Boeing 707 Air Force One. He acknowledged that accommodating such an aircraft might require removing its wings but expressed confidence in achieving it, anticipating it would be a "fun" addition. The Qatar-donated plane has reportedly made a flight but faced alleged security concerns cited by the Secret Service on a subsequent trip.

“

I am sure that the wings will have to be removed to be able to get it in there, but we will achieve it. It will be fun.
