Naona mwana wa Kim Jong 'Mentally' Il naye ana li Air Force One lake lenye 'kila aina ya bells and whistles' hata kuweza kuchuana na lile la Obama.
Hapa likiwa kwenye anga ya Pyongyang.....
Hapa anakagua gwaride akiwa na totoz......
Je, Air Force Un inafua dafu mbele ya Air Force One?
Halafu kuanzia mwaka 2017 kutakuwa na fleet mpya za Air Force One. Pentagon wamechagua Boeing 747-8 kuwa ndo ndege rasmi ya rais wa Marekani kuanzia 2017.

Je, Air Force Un inafua dafu mbele ya Air Force One?
Halafu kuanzia mwaka 2017 kutakuwa na fleet mpya za Air Force One. Pentagon wamechagua Boeing 747-8 kuwa ndo ndege rasmi ya rais wa Marekani kuanzia 2017.
The Pentagon has chosen Boeing's 747-8 to replace the two aging planes that serve as the President's Air Force One fleet.
Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James said in a statement that the plane, one of Boeing's largest, is the only aircraft "manufactured in the United States [that] when fully missionized meets the necessary capabilities established to execute the presidential support mission, while reflecting the office of the President of the United States of America consistent with the national public interest."
It will undertake the modifications necessary to make the plane ready for presidential flights, including the addition of sophisticated communication equipment and living quarters for the President and his staff.
The plane itself is a rarity - declining demand for the 747-8 has slowed its production to just 1.5 planes per month, according to Bloomberg.
The two Boeing 747-200 planes that the President currently uses will reach the end of their 30-year service life in 2017, and according to The Wall Street Journal, the U.S. Air Force has set aside $1.65 billion between 2015 and 2019 for two replacement jets.
James said that "parts obsolescence, diminishing manufacturing sources and increased down times for maintenance" are all persistent issues that contribute to the need for a new fleet.
