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

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

Is Air Force One shadowed by military fighters when flying? I would think so.

I suspect any other plane not part of the fighter escort would get a sidewinder up the tailpipe long before reaching visual distance.

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.

As a practical matter, it may become necessary to give all our manned airborne assets a highly efficient mirror finish. Because of the continuing development and miniaturization of dangerous burning lasers.

As well, such a finish would be quite visually striking. For Air Force One it should be possible to superimpose a faint image of something like the US flag into the mirroring.

Last I looked, long-range RADAR and other weapons didn’t care about a color scheme.

It concerns me as well.
