New Air Force One paint design released

The Pentagon's latest budget request features a rendering of President Donald Trump's plans for a new patriotic red, white, and blue paint job for Air Force One, a paint scheme some observers say looks a lot like that of his private jet.
Buried in the pages of the Pentagon's $705.4 billion fiscal year 2021 budget request is a rendering of the future Air Force One with a red, white, and blue paint job rather than the iconic light-blue color scheme introduced in the 1960s during the Kennedy administration. The image is accompanied by information on the VC-25B Presidential Aircraft Recapitalization program.
The inclusion of the new paint scheme in the budget request suggests this is the planned design at this point in time.
In February 2018, the White House struck a $3.9 billion deal with Boeing for a new VC-25B aircraft, a modified Boeing 747-8, to replace the VC-25A aircraft, a modified Boeing 747-200, used by the president.
That summer, Trump told CBS News that the new plane was "going to be red, white, and blue" and revealed his plans for a new paint job.
At the time, observers were quick to say the president's plans for the new paint job looked similar to his private passenger jet but with the colors inverted.
Light blue color scheme was released in the 1960's.

Trump’s had a model of the new plane in the Oval Office for a while now.

Awesome- now do Trump's M-1 Abrams.

I like the new look. But the old look is still pretty sweet. And certainly iconic/classic.
I don't know where I stand on this one. As odd as it is, UCLA and Air Force One do wear baby blue quite well.

I figured he would get some orange in there somehow.

I like both but the powder blue lines are better.
Posted on 2/11/20 at 6:11 am to Crimson Wraith
Awesome, vaguely reminds me of the original flexjet

I was against this idea because I the baby blue design is iconic but the new design isn’t that bad at all.
Posted on 2/11/20 at 6:19 am to Crimson Wraith
I am MAGA, but frick that waste of money.
Posted on 2/11/20 at 6:20 am to Crimson Wraith
chances of the thread(s) dedicated to this topic on the DU exceeding 10 pages and/or 25 utterances of "that fricking orange a-hole"
Posted on 2/11/20 at 6:34 am to Crimson Wraith
It’s nice but I like the current one more.
Posted on 2/11/20 at 6:38 am to Crimson Wraith
Oh it’s the inverse of Trump Force One.
LOL

Sorry I love DJT but the JFK paint job is way more iconic and beautiful.
This is akin to changing the Cowboys baby blue tint in their pants and helmet

Let's just hope that it is more reliable than the MAX.

Current version now looks like a UN plane since they stole from us. Weak vs. bolder color scheme of the new design. I like the new.
Posted on 2/11/20 at 7:26 am to Crimson Wraith
Wait Trumps private jet is a dark blue??
Posted on 2/11/20 at 8:24 am to Crimson Wraith
I like it.
I like the current one.
Either is fine with me.

We getting rid of that democrat/hillary blue baws
Posted on 2/11/20 at 8:29 am to Crimson Wraith
Would be much better. AF - 1 right now looks like it belongs to the UN.

His jet is red, white and blue too. He can't do that. Reeeeee!
