Default NO it's not

I happen to be one of the people who built Air Force One.

I am a Avionics installer/Aircrraft Modification Elctrictian. I do eng. and customer changes, experimental aircraft and secret aircraft eletrical/electronics and avionics work.

No. Absoulty not. Air Force one does not need to be upgraded. And no way will it ever be Airbus junk.

lol

have you even seen the A380 before?
no
because it isnt built yet

it was just a suggestion
the main topic is the plane itself
before we start argueing about "airbus junk"

lets just talk about the outlook of future aircrafts

Hmm how did you become unemployed after 911. Seems like the war effort would lead to you being hired, not fired.

first of all Air Force One does not need to be changed. Before we had the 747, Air Force One was a 707. We also don't buy planes from otehr countries for our President.
Second, I do believe that the A380 does need a longer runway and other airport upgrades.
For some airlines it does justify spending that money on A380s, more passengers on a flight the more money they get.

and more passengers on a plane means they save more fuel comparing flying two planes...

very true. Also you would only need one pilot for that plane. Although you would need more stewards or flight attendants.

http://www.airbus.com/product/a380_economics.asp <----- cheap for airlines...

it still need 2 pilots to fly it
no commercial jets takes off with only one pilot
because so many things could happen and even though auto-pilot does most of the stuff, you still need a backup
