The Air Force plans to use $400 million from the troubled Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile program to refurbish a gifted Qatari 747 jet as an Air Force One replacement, Air Force Secretary Troy Meink told Congress.

“In the reallocation of resources, there were dollars that were moved from the Sentinel program that were excess in need in [fiscal year 20]24 and that’s what was used to fund the [presidential airlift] program,” Mr. Meink said in testimony to the Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee.

Mr. Meink said the shift in funding from the new ICBM will not diminish the new missile program.

Meink's a liar.  This is just stupid and wrong.
