Air Force One costs ~$206,000 per flight hour to operate!

The GAO reported in 2020 that the VC-25A presidential aircraft runs ~$206K per flight hour. A multi-state rally trip like Texas to Oklahoma can add several million dollars in federal operating costs.

Oklahoma has voted Republican in every presidential race since 1968!

Oklahoma is one of the most reliably red states economically tied to oil and gas. In 2020, Trump carried all 77 counties — only Reagan in 1984 had previously swept all 77 Oklahoma counties in a presidential race.
