Also, all the work that will have to be done to take any sensitive equipment out of it, and also the cost of storing, and maintaining his aircraft for all the years it was on a US base.
If he wants to call it his, then he's going to have to pay for it. If not, it's still Air Force 1, and Trump has no claim over it.
