President Trump reportedly wants a ‘more American’-looking Air Force One

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.

The “teeth” graced the 747 cargo airplanes operated by Flying Tiger Freighters out of Chicago back in the 70s and 80s.
They were stunning.

Northwest Airlines bought the company and did away with the color scheme...

Little Napoleon outfits. Suits them.

For TODAY’S FBI, I think that we should resurrect ZOOT SUITS for their mandatory wear along with mandatory wearing of PORK PIE HATS when they are outside.

It already has blue and white. A red pen stripe would look good.

It should be air force color to make it harder to distinguish from other us planes

I'd guess there are probably some 'other us planes' that shepard, shadow and tail AF1 in the sky like the Suburbans do on the ground.
