President Donald Trump unveiled a plane model on Thursday demonstrating the new color scheme for Air Force One.
The model was spotted on a table in the Oval Office during a meeting between President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
I would say the plane basically is an upgrade over that model. We actually are getting things that they didnt get. Were saving about $1.5 billion. So its going to be terrific, Trump told reporters.
the new Air Force One will go into service in 2024.

What a great first time job, photo of Handsome Air Force One.
Beat you by 4 minutes.. see #44
All in all I like it. I think a field of 13 white stars, to commemorate our heritage, would look nice in the dark blue field under the cockpit. Not the traditional circle though because that looks too much like the EU flag.

He's been in Construction for years....inside and out....He makes things go from mediocre to Magnificent.
The Old Post Office is another Masterpiece....AND it was supposed to be destroyed.
I wish the White House would sell models.
Lighten up the blue just a bit, and put the flag on the tail in its proper orientation.
Other than that, pretty impressive.

Agree, the blue should be the color on the American flag, not a dark navy blue.

Don’t know why, but every time I see that graphic I fantasize that it is Mecca during Hajj... Specifically at its peak during the month of Dhu al-Hijja...
Formal....and Military Look....too. His No. One Job is after all....CIC.
I like bold colors not pale pastels.
Take the blue from the sky and a pretty girl’s eye ...
He dresses like a slob all the time. Must be a trolling move.
I think that’s a plant behind him but when I saw the pic I did say out loud, “He actually sits that way on purpose?”
