Good point. Samaritan's Purse has a DC-8, they could use a newer plane.

Trump should buy that 787 and repurpose it as Air Force Two for Mike Pence.

Time for an upgrade from the 757 which is not suitable for long haul flights abroad as it requires multiple fuel stops for example like a flight from DC to Sydney or DC to New Delhi.

It can barely make a transatlantic flight from DC to the neighborhood of London, Paris, and Germany.

The total fuel capacity for the 787-8 is 33,528 U.S. gallons


Ok, well let's figure it out ourselves...

Right now average Jet-A aviation fuel is $5.13 a gallon, which I assume is what it uses.


So $5.13 x 33,528 = $171,998.64 to fill up.
