Subject: Re: New Air Force One from Qatar?!
Well the first thing that needs doing to that 747 is to make it capable of air to air refueling. It would need to be gutted in good measure to accomplish that. The all the electronics and engine management need hardening against EMP. It needs a war room with pentagon level communications. Don't forget countermeasures, also not an option.
Might cost as much as the value of the aircraft to accomplish all that and more.
