Of course he should have a proper aircraft, just like there should be a Royal Yacht. It is frankly appalling that one of the worlds largest economies can't support these basic trappings of power that are necessary in many parts of the world just to get respect from the Locals. For example anywhere in Africa/Persian Gulf/ South America. They all have private Boeings for their tin pot rulers, and without one we just look cheap. The days when our lot turned up off the coast in a floating palace were a lot easier on trade deals.
