I'm out of the loop since I retired 3 years ago, but they have had the aircraft 'on hand' since before I retired. Boeing had two 747-8 passenger white tails due to the bankruptcy of the original buyer, the USAF and Boeing agreed to used those for the new AF1 aircraft, and money had been authorized to start work.
