President Trump is reportedly hoping to make the high skies great again with a new and improved patriotic paint job for Air Force One that “looks more American,” in addition to requesting bigger, more comfortable beds on board.
**SNIP**
The president reportedly wants the jets to be outfitted in a color scheme that "looks more American" and replace the iconic robin’s egg blue declared a "Jackie Kennedy color.” Technically termed "luminous ultramarine", the plane’s current design was selected by President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jackie Kennedy in the 1960s, Axios reports.
Trump’s preferred color scheme would incorporate red, white and blue. In addition, the commander in chief is said to want bigger, more comfortable beds, like those of his personal Boeing 757, in favor of what Axios describes as the current “couch-like sleeping configuration” aboard Air Force One.

Needs and enhanced landing gear....
NO. Because he's not using it in his personal capacity and it belongs to We the People. I don't care what he paints on his plane. It's his. That one is OURS.
I hope you're joking.
Leave it as is.
I love all the WW II nose art.
I like the understated elegance of the current color scheme but I’m curious as to what he has in mind.
I suspect any other plane not part of the fighter escort would get a sidewinder up the tailpipe long before reaching visual distance.
I’m with you. We don’t need any personal designs on AF 1.
I love our President. :)
I think it would be funny if he made the FBI wear tricornered hats ...
I’m not a fan of the feminine blue that looks like a bird egg.
He has many enemies. Air Force 1 should be hard to identify
Then it should be 2 or 3 decoys
I wouldn’t mind a tweak with red but it should still be sedate and elegant, not garish and eye-popping. Does not need to be overly noticeable, and should not be.
“How about a yuge TRUMP on both sides as well... “
That would make some heads explode.
But .....
I think if he wanted to do a redesign he could customise it just a little by putting a black and gold 45 on the side.
Now I know that Bruce Dickinson is qualified on the 757. Did he recently get qualified on the 747?
Bubba:”Bigger beds...now why didn’t I think of that.”
If the government has money to spend on new airplane livery, they are collecting too much taxes from me.
Just put the P-40 warhawk shark teeth on the nose.
Make AF1 Great Again !!!
I agree, get the aircraft to the paint shop!
