See inside Trump's magnificent new Air Force One jet... acquired from an unlikely source after Boeing failed

-

 President Donald Trump is so desperate for a new Air Force One jet that he asked a Florida-based company to overhaul a plane once used by the Qatari government.

The moves comes amid years-long delays in the provision of two replacements for the aging presidential planes that the president commissioned during his last time in office. 

After becoming frustrated at Boeing's apparently inability to deliver the order Trump wants L3Harris, a defense contractor, to transform the luxury aircraft previously used by Qatar by the fall, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Back in February, Trump traveled to Palm Beach International Airport and toured the plane on the tarmac. 

Based on pictures of interior, which boasted leather furniture along with glimmering floors and ceilings, it matched perfectly with Trump's famously opulent taste in décor.

Its a major setback for Boeing, which had been tapped during Trump's first term to deliver a new pair of state-of-the-art planes to replace the old ones that have been in service since George H.W. Bush administration.

Boeing has fallen so behind on the $3.9 billion project that it now fears it won't be able to finish building the planes before Trump leaves office. They were supposed to be finished last year, but a series of supplier and engineering snags has caused the project to take years and go billions over budget.

Behind the scenes it appears Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg's visit to the White House on April 18 did nothing to smooth things over.

President Donald Trump is done waiting for Boeing to make his new Air Force One fleet, instead tasking defense contractor L3Harris with the job of remodeling a jet once owned and used by the Qatari government

  Prince Harry's security issues were 'examined repeatedly' by the courts,   Buckingham Palace   has said in a blunt response to his claims it was an 'establishment stitch-up'.  The  Duke of Sussex  tonight launched a series of scathing attacks on the  Royal Family , saying he has been cut off from  King Charles  who 'won't speak to him'.  He revealed that he 'doesn't know how long his father has left', will not bring his wife or children back to the UK - and said he had had 'so many disagreements' with his family, some of whom 'may never forgive' him for writing a book.

  Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Royal Family were keen to put on a show of unity.  But their choice of display has been described by Kate as 'one of the hardest things' she has ever had to do -  and Meghan hasn't been seen on UK soil since.  During the national mourning period,  Prince Harry  and  Prince William  observed the tributes and spoke to members of the public outside Windsor Castle   - just as they had outside of Buckingham Palace when their mother died.

  It may come as a surprise that, as the band are busily trying to put together another reunion tour, there is still one name missing from the line-up: Victoria, the most famous of all the Spice Girls.  So what's the reason for her being left out of the band's current project, which they hope will culminate into a string of concerts across the globe next year?  https://amzn.to/3YdCV0X For after decades of tension and animosity, the four other Spice Girls - Mel B, Mel C, Geri Horner and Emma Bunton - are again back working with their creator and former manager.  It's all in the hope that the foursome can embark on a potentially lucrative tour to mark the 30th anniversary of their 1996 debut single, Wannabe, next year.
