The modified Boeing 747, tail number 29000, commonly called Air Force One, in 2017 at Boeing’s repair facility at Port San Antonio. Two of the specially-modified 747 airplanes, officially designated VC-25 by the military, exist. Both are generally referred to as Air Force One, though that designation only officially applies when the president is aboard the plane. The Air Force One designation actually is given to any air force aircraft carrying the president no matter the size or type of plane.
GDC filed for bankruptcy April 26, 2021, after a dispute with the Boeing Co. over work outfitting two Air Force One aircraft at Port San Antonio. The $3.9 billion contract was awarded to Boeing by the Defense Department in 2018. She alleged GDC violated the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act. The act requires employers instituting mass layoffs to give workers at least 60 days’ advance written notice of their termination. GDC failed to give notice that complied with the WARN Act, according to Stringham’s suit.
