A custom Boeing 747-8 for a Middle Eastern businessman shows what the potentially gifted Qatari jet and future Air Force One may look like.

During a Senate hearing, Air Force Secretary Meink acknowledged that the Qatari aircraft would need "significant modifications."

Duckworth said she also sent a letter to Meink about the operational security risks associated with the plane, and noted an Air Force One aircraft must be able to allow the president to command and control U.S. forces from midair during a catastrophic crisis, such as a nuclear war.
