ESTIMATED FIGURE. The estimated hourly cost (mostly for fuel) of Air Force One was $68,000. “Since 2002, Jet fuel prices have gone up about twenty per cent, so if I had to estimate, I would guess that Air Force One’s yearly operating expenses are somewhere between $240-280 million (even though this estimate might be far too low).” -Stephen M. “How much does it cost to operate Air Force One” 03/12/2009 http://theintrepid.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-much-does-it-cost-to-operate-air.html
