Have The anti-missile defenses on it that that AF1 and AF2 have. That was the main reason for the EXPENSIVE SWITCH in the middle of a round trip.

So because of his vanity hand me down jet we pay more money to still shuttle a safer one to him every time his bunghole tightens up in fear.

When they said he was going to Ankara I thought to myself does he know how close (relatively) that is to Iran? Of course not, you know he got gentleman's Ds in geography.
