    There are three ways to get a jet like this. Either you become the president of the United States, or you get involved in the oil industry, or you win the overseas lotteries. The odds of any of those happening are slim, but the one I indulge in every week is the lottery – sure beats moving to Kuwait.

    The announcement was made earlier this year, but these videos have only emerged now.

    The U.S. Air Force said on Wednesday it would use Boeing Co’s (BA.N) commercial 747-8 airliner to replace its current fleet of two Air Force One presidential aircraft, one of the most visible symbols of the United States.

    The decision comes a month after Boeing said it would slow production of the four-engine 747-8 aircraft to 1.3 a month from 1.5 a month because of declining orders.

    “The Boeing 747-8 is the only aircraft manufactured in the United States (that) when fully missionized meets the necessary capabilities established to execute the presidential support mission,” said Air Force Secretary Deborah James in a statement.

    Boeing welcomed the Air Force’s decision to skip a competition and opt for the 747-8, citing its 50-year history of building presidential aircraft.
