the obvious reason why they won't - national pride....
good enough reason right there, IMHO...
but the second and just as important reason. When needed the AF1 does fly into smaller domestic airports, as in TPA, MCI, etc.etc. that could support the 747.
Most of these airports could not support the 380......so the pres would be limited where he could land.....not a good thing.
