And since Trump likes a show, tactical arrivals

He will infil via HALO to all future events.  When his feet touch the ground, he'll light up a Marlboro red.

C-130s have four engines.. it’s made in the good ole USA. Easily modified. Lots of room. Can go almost anywhere. Cruises at a zippy 320T.
 
I’m sure Lockheed could fit two VC-130Js in the que. Gen up a new comfort pallet.. easy peasey. Give POTUS his very own noise cancelling David Clark’s with sheepskin comfort liner.. luxury flying. 

Only if POTUS can zip line thru the ramp from a 747

Low RCS tanks (conformal or drop/otherwise) have gotta be on a roadmap somewhere.

If not we’re just playing lip service to the IndoPacific problem set.

Concur, everything will need to have high MPG to be relevant
I wonder if a technological capable non US user (looking at you Israel) has already worked this out and we could just buy their mod?

The US manufacturer will immediately sue them and say they need to develop something in house that works half as well and costs 3 times as much.

Allegedly Israel did this mod and was using it regularly to strike Iran.  And now lo and behold, the US is interested in adopting the capability.
