"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."
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.

Field McConnell had some interesting things to say about Boeing.
