New Air Force One color scheme infuriates left

President Donald Trump revealed his design this week for a new Air Force One, showing off a set of drawings in the Oval Office that replace the Kennedy-era light blue paint job with a more masculine red, white and black.

The current livery is dominated by blue, the color of the Democratic Party. Trump’s re-do has splashes of Republican red.

The result resembles the color scheme of Trump’s personal Boeing 757, which 2016 campaign crowds called ‘Trump Force One.’

‘We had different choices, here,’ Trump told ABC News, saying that he had come up with the design concepts himself. Artists’ renderings show variations in the color of the engines and the depth of the underbelly’s dark tones.

No reason to get personally insulting.

Raymond Loewy’s country of origin was France, which has blue, white, and red vertical bars.

Seriously Mr. President - I can do better than that without losing the uniqueness and class of the Loewy Design:

It reminds me of ST:Gen 2’s Enterprise tricked out for war,
rather than the pansy version.

The US stops being a pastel fairy and moves into a bold themed power house.

“I think it should be solid black, stem to stern..............ominous looking.............”

When Hugh Hefner had “Big Bunny” his DC9 painted jet black it had to be OKed by the FAA. No one had done it on a commercial type aircraft before and it was thought that the extra expansion on the upper part of the fuselage might cause undo stress.

“Flying Tiger has a history with the CIA.”

I don’t know about Flying Tiger, but I do know that the CIA was heavily invested in Air America.

“...flat-black stealth paint that might protect the plane from surface to air missiles.”

I wouldn’t think that radar absorbent coatings would be very effective as there are 4 gigantic radar reflectors, the engines, hanging off the wings.

Good Grief, the F’n Democrats are going to block his choice of colors for AF1? Sure glad all the other things in the nation are fixed.

The Dems just HAVE to lose big in 2020.

The baby blue of the Kennedy era was a sick color. It was weak and not the blue of our flag.

...what other flag is red white and blue?

Going by member states of the United Nations, and counting only those flags which have all three colors -- red, white, and blue -- and no other color at all, we find twenty:

Australia
Chile
Cuba
Czech Republic
Democratic People's Republic of Korea (a/k/a North Korea)
France
Iceland
Lao People's Democratic Republic (aka Laos)
Luxembourg
Nepal
Netherlands
New Zealand
Norway
Panama
Russian Federation
Samoa
Slovakia
Thailand
United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Island
United States of America

If we count Taiwan, which is not a UN member, that would bring the total to twenty one.

LOL! Guess it sort of depends on the meaning of “surprised” huh?
