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.

The current scheme is a jackie kennedy inspired deal

That explains the swoops.

New paint technology is much lighter. The Air Force could save a bunch of $$ with a stripping and new paint job just in weight (fuel consumption) alone. Give a good chance to inspect for corrosion as well.

The redesign is red, white, and blue, not black. It’s not a light blue, however.

Red is the color perfectly suited for the American left, because of it’s association with the worldwide Communist movement.

That no doubt explains why, 20 years or so ago, the Democrat party “red” and Republican “blue” color designations were arbitrarily (and quietly) reversed by the media.

There was a Flying Tiger Freight airline for several years.
They flew 747 cargo planes with the tiger teeth.

I was on a Northwest 727 landing in Chicago when I spotted one of their airplanes.
Some Japanese tourists on the plane also saw the “teeth” and expressed amazement...

The airline was bought out by Northwest...

I always like Calder’s red white and blue Braniff color scheme. It looked like a flag waving.

I thought Northwest had done the takeover.

Anyway, it was designer Raymond Lowey who developed the AF1 paint scheme.
