No offense but don't see any past evidence that this actually happened. Help me out on this.
Current AF-1 B-742 is already overloaded with reporters and guests,cargo etc and non-stop to Egypt is
impossible without a stop in Germany or mid air A/R and that is very rare.
Nov 10th-11th 2023.
(Egypt is in Africa, BTW)

Regardless, POTUS is going first to Israel, where AF1 last flew non-stop on October 18, 2023.

It can be done per Boeing where they compare the current against the 747-8 and reference the distances of Tokyo [-2] and Hong Kong [-8] rolling at M.84

Crude math has it at 6.8 MPG! [53,611 G / 7800 SM] Take a look at the attached data sheets on the GE CF6 as Boeing says the planes have the -80C2B1 variant.

Funny thing is that they are getting more fuel range than your average fire truck! [How Long Do Fire Trucks Last? | Emergent]

DCA to LLBG [Ben Gurion] is 5118 NM

Boeing Fact Sheet

DCA to NRT [Tokyo] per the Boeing FS

I wonder why they did not use KILG - very little commercial traffic and they came down here anyway after taking off to kill time before they eventually flew up the Delaware River.

These deteriorating weather conditions will play havoc with any Homecoming 250 outdoor plans, obviously. Next on my calendar is Thursday, when the Navy ships will depart Philadelphia and head this way down the river.
