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.
Despite some critics lamenting the loss of the baby blue and gold paint scheme, Trump is ready for a change.
You know what? Its been a long time and it fits the plane better and I like the concept of red white and blue, and the classic, he said in an interview with Fox and Friends on Friday. I think its going to look much better actually.
He said the new colors were inspired by first lady Melania Trumps fashion style,...

Plane looks great—much more forceful—not baby blue Worry now—the Canadian boy wonder will be out of office soon and an adult will lead the Glorious North.

Trudeau sits like a proper lady, feet crossed at the ankles.
He also wore a blue suit with BROWN shoes-what a DORK!
As long as I’m snarking, that suit looks CHEAP too!
*Ahem*
LOVE the new paint colors for AF1!
The U.S. Department of Defense has declared this patch must be worn, right or left shoulder, so the star field faces forward, or to the flags own right.

True
Thanks for that explanation, FRiend.
They could paint a p40 flying tiger toothy grin on it’s nose.
The only improvement I could suggest would be to make the blue a little less dark. Otherwise, it’s good.
Well Trudeau does wear stick-on eyebrows and likes dress up...
When displaying the flag against a wall, vertically or horizontally, the flag's union (stars) should be at the top, to the flag's own right, and to the observer's left.
Painted on an airplane is the closest parallel to displaying on a wall. Check mate.
No number of well-intentioned entities doing something incorrectly make those errors correct.
Yup...as if a Robins egg promotes strength....
No, the flag always flies as if charging into battle.<<
Yup!..if you arrive late to the Battle you know which way to head to save it....
Yup!..the bulbous blue nose was a Kennedy design for the alcohol problem in the family....Teddy would have loved it...
I don't know about the “blue”..but I'm guessing he'll add the flag in the “right” direction AFTER the next election depending on how it goes.....
If he loses and it ends up in the wrong direction...it would be a Legacy forever..
If I was a conservative Canadian Prime Minister I would get a Boeing 747 dash 8 and trick it out just like AF-1. Paint it white on top with deep dark red underneath With that same red paint a maple leaf and Canada above the windows. Canadian coat of arms on the tale. Bragging rights at those G8 conferences.
I remember the Thunderbirds flew Sabres with blue tails with white Stars spaced diagonally like the flag. I think that would be awesome on AF-1.
Awesome Pics!......40 and 43....BOTH WINNERS!!
