Then the most powerful man (maybe soon woman?) in the world just cant fly on a smaller plane than some random billionaire - yes thats right, some unnamed (the name is supposed to be revealed later this year) billionaire ordered an A380 as a private jet. ;-)

Seriously, I dont think its going to happen. Much like european head of states usually exclusively fly on airbus planes - if they're not saving tax payer money by taking commercial flights.

But the freighter version to replace the c-5 galaxy is definitely realistic. The US military is very open to foreign hardware as of late, as mentioned in some other post. Even armored vehicles from german production are being considered to replace the humvee.
