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 didn’t get. We’re saving about $1.5 billion. So it’s going to be terrific,” Trump told reporters.

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.

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 ...
