New color scheme unveiled for Air Force One that discards Trump's design | CNN Politics
The US Air Force unveiled a new color scheme for the new Air Force One jets under construction on Friday, doing away with the darker red, white, and blue chosen by former President Donald Trump and opting for a modernized version of the classic design of t...
Blue and yellow, hm.
When I first saw it I thought Ukraine/Rothschild. This scheme apparently goes way back.
Allegedly some of it has to do with communications and certain colors interfering with signals. Beats me how true that could be.

"Further analysis concluded darker colors, among other factors, on the underside of the VC-25B aircraft might contribute to temperatures exceeding the current qualification limits of a small number of components."
Also interesting bits on Boeing regretting the contract:
"On a call with analysts in April, Boeing CEO David Calhoun said the $3.9 billion contract that Boeing signed to build the planes was a mistake for the company, given the losses it is incurring. He said the 2018 deal with the Air Force included “a very unique set of risks that Boeing probably shouldn’t have taken."

Lots of fun stuff to unpack here with the benefit of hindsight...
Field McConnell had some interesting things to say about Boeing.
Ukrainian oligarchs really have the biden regime over a barrel. blue and yellow indeed.
surprised it was not pink and rainbows with dildos and messages of 'hey kids, free candy inside'
If you read the article it says it's going back to the style of JFK's af1. Fuck CNN but pretty neat
Even neater when you read about the designer, Raymond Loewy and some of the other work he did. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Loewy
It’s not AF1 unless the president is on it. Until Trump boards that plane, it’s just an AF executive jet.
Trump force one is red white and blue. Noway they were gonna let that fly.
I believe there is a practical reason for this color scheme, and that's camouflage. You don't want POTUS to be a sitting duck in the air, so you make the colors the same as the sky.
GOOD. Trump's livery was a travesty. Boring. Corporate. And too much like all the other ones (see Saudi's 747). The new 747 should be just like the old one. The design was created by industrial designer Raymond Loewy in 1962, and it has been used on every presidential aircraft since then. The blue color represents the skies and the white color represents the clouds, while the gold and silver accents symbolize the presidential authority and prestige. The Air Force One livery has become an iconic symbol of American presidential power and influence.
IMO, it's a symbol of one of the most corrupt periods of American history. While I do happen to like the color scheme, I believe that with the rebirth of this nation, a new design should be used. I believe most everything to do with this current government should be relegated to the history books and museums.
US embassy here flies TWO Ukrainian flags and one, smaller than those, US flag. So... logish [their] AF1 will be also Ukrainian.
Ah, went with the faggy "UN Blue," who would have thought....
Feels coms-ey
Baby blue for diddlers
...you got to love that U.N. Blue....
My first thought exactly Dog .
...doggy winks...
Colors of the Israeli flag.
Gotta get rid of those straight up colors. Gotta pick something more inclusive. More mixed. Cant be having none of those straight white blues
What? no rainbow?
