Qatar-Donated Boeing 747-8 Makes Record-Breaking Presidential Flight

The Qatar-donated Boeing 747-8 has completed its shortest publicly documented presidential flight yet, covering just 121 miles from Dublin to Shannon in Ireland.

The journey lasted approximately 38 minutes and included a deliberate detour over Doonbeg before heading towards Shannon.

Rory McIlroy's Irish Open game was temporarily overshadowed by the massive aircraft as it flew low over the course, giving spectators a rare glimpse of the presidential jet in action.
