    A new Air Force One presidential transport has appeared in the latest version of the Pentagon’s aviation plans, marking the first time the Pentagon has included a replacement for the long-serving Boeing 747 jet transport.
    Installation of new, sensitive communications equipment could begin on the aircraft as soon as 2019, according to the Pentagon.
    The plans don’t specify a specific aircraft model, but it could be an updated executive version of the 747, known in military service as the VC-25.
