President Trump is considering taking the inaugural flight of the new Air Force One jet when he travels to Mount Rushmore next month as part of celebrations for America's 250th anniversary, according to a senior White House official and a source familiar with the plans.

The potential use of the new presidential aircraft would mark its first official flight, coinciding with the nation's semiquincentennial commemorations at the iconic South Dakota monument.

Details about the specific events planned for the Mount Rushmore celebration have not been disclosed. The timing and logistics of the potential inaugural flight remain under consideration by White House planners.

The new Air Force One represents a significant upgrade to the presidential fleet, though specific details about the aircraft's capabilities and features have not been publicly released in conjunction with this announcement.
