President Trump wants to update the paint job on the next version of Air Force One, ditching the iconic robin's-egg blue (which he calls a "Jackie Kennedy color") for a bolder, "more American" look.
The big picture: Trump rarely gets into the weeds of government negotiations. But he sat down in the Oval Office with Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg in February to personally hammer out the $4 billion deal for a pair of replacement 747s for use as Air Force One (the call sign for whatever Air Force plane the president is on).

Yeah, but as soon as the democrats regain the presidency they'd replace Melania with Harriet Tubman as the pinup girl.
Cover it with 1968-69 Ford candyapple red! I had a Fairlane and a Torino GT that color. (As well as 2 motorcycles I repainted..)
some kind of steel/navy blue/white configuration.
I wholeheartedly agree. This one is wimpy. Outdated. Needs some Trump stylin’.
He’s gonna go for red white and blue. No question

Yes, needs a MAGA update!
Or at least “We the people....”
Agreed. The paint scheme of Air Force One has become a permanent fixture of Americana, and is recognized by people the world over.
Don't change it for any president.
Id like to color it red and paint “Freedom Train” real big down the sides.
It needs exterior speakers. Big ones. And the stairs should be escalator... So The D can ride down smooth like when he announced his candidacy.
I immediately pictured a plane with stars, stripes and purple flames. And thought of Rodney Dangerfield. (No disrespect intended.)
If allowed to do it, Obama would’ve painted the Koran on the plane.
Liberals would now put a hammer&sicle on it, for the Trump/Russian collusion which they’ve convinced their party members is the truth.
We republicans should insist that whenever a democrat president is elected, that AF1 be decorated with the face of their hero, namely, Karl Marx.
I have always liked the words “United States of America” on the side. It boldly announces “We are Here!” wherever here is.
I have seen AF-1 on several occasions and the sight of it impresses and a feeling of pride in our nation occurs instantly. Then, the question arises is why or where did they get that blue? On sale, cheaper or easier to maintain?
Why? The color should be the same as our Flag’s blue, not too heavy on any one of the Red, White or Blue but get rid of that Robin’s egg color, keep UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and no, the eagle doesn’t fit at all.
Had to repaint my Red White and Blue airplane once and the Red is a very expensive color, but we can afford it can’t we? Go for it America!
I love this guy. In just Suggesting this he knows will make the liberals just loose their freaking minds in outrage, thinking Monster truck paint job.
He so knows how to live rent free in the lefts big empty head, haha
