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.

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? It’s 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 it’s going to look much better actually.”

Still can’t see the top image. Looks like you’ve got a bad image tag or something. Either way, yes, explosions are definitely more exciting than the new paint scheme.

the days of Ike flying in a polished, bare-metal Columbine II are long gone.

Eisenhower's plane was a Lockheed Constellation. I believe it was named 'Columbine'.

Dark blue on top with a white belly would be better camouflage...

The flag is correct for that side of the plane. Since the “flag pole” is at the stars, and the American flag never retreats, it is correct.

I'm assuming the French Flag is flown in the opposite direction?

I could not have resisted the urge to have another model painted black and placed on display.

There is a great pic of Moochelle standing in front of that same fireplace with a bigger plant behind her. Very funny.

Saw it here on FR.

“there are alleged similarities between this new logo design and that of Trump’s private aircraft.”

If they ARE similar, BFD. He designed both of them. Why wouldn’t they have some similarities?

Would this be an impeachable offense?

Reminds me of older AA planes color schemes, but classier.

I am surprised by the number of posters who like the current Surrender Blue.

Then how about a grinning sharks mouth on the nose with a 30 mm GAU-8 Avenger rotary cannon sticking out the front?
That make it mean looking enough?

...please do not discard the history of our prior great age!

A photo in the Smithsonian should be sufficient.
