Article on the rerouted funds:
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth just found nearly a billion dollars — $934 million to be exact — hidden deep in the Pentagon couch cushions. That money was supposed to fund Sentinel, a $77.7 billion modernization project for America’s aging nuclear missile system. Instead, it’s being rerouted to a classified project.
The 747’s higher fuel consumption and emissions made it obsolete and decommissioned from passenger flights.
So pimping one for 1 billion makes sense (/S) …So much for your ‘free’ plane. Qatari must be laughing their asses of. Got rid of the thing for free.
