Oh shit, you've just been named glorious leader of nation X.

In your first order to the government you have decided to purchase a new aircraft to transport you and your staff.

What will you choose and why? Cost is not an issue.

It borders on pointless. I'm not even sure all of the gear for a head of state visit can actually fit in a single plane when you also include comfy accommodation for the VIPs and their staff, and baseline accommodation for the auxiliaries.

Now, even if everything could fit into a single plane, it would be an overly complex engineering feat to convert it, and it would entail flying the VIPs in along with all of the other stuff, even though these visits might require days of preparation ahead of time.

It just makes more sense to use military/commercial planes to fly in the gear and auxiliaries, and then use a VIP transport or even a regular airline flight to get the VIPs in when everything is ready for them.

I said could, not should.

If you absolutely had to do it you could easily get a heli and limo in the back of a C-5 with plenty of room for accomodation.

Comrade President For Life Sanders (PBUH) will abolish the violent "air force" after eliminating flyover land and cager culture using well placed thermonuclear air bursts over the detention camps of central dumbfuckistan.

He will then use a steelisreal touring bike for presidential transport within the coastal (real) America to visit and advise the idyllic urban vegan gardening centers and progressive integrated montessori schools for ideologically vetted citizens' 1 child offspring.

My school had an ex-Fedex 727-100 (this exact one), so I've kinda developed a soft spot for the old tri-jet.

I don't know about an aircraft that I'd use as a VIP/Executive transport, but if I were getting any plane to use privately I'd like either a Kawasaki P1, or for vintage style a Lockheed Jetstar.

Honestly, just something sensible between a Boeing 737 and a 777 depending on the size of the staff. All you need for that is a proven reliable passenger airliner. Anything exotic is just going to cause trouble at foreign airports where you don't have your own ground crew.

If good judgement is not an issue, I'd probably find a reasonably complete Caravelle somewhere and get it back into airworthy condition.
