    Make Air Force One Great again

    This may be fake news but it sounds believable to me. The current paint jobs have no red and nothing strongly implying this plane represents America.

    What it needs is Nose Art - one side Ivanka, the other Melania.
    Tasteful of course.

      Leave it alone. It is a classic design of plane and paint. It is recognized around the world. If that doesn't suit millennial's, etc. tough. If Trump wants to paint a plane, let him paint his own plane. JMHO. Sincerely. bruce'ss

        Well, while I think it looks very nice as is I can understand the change also. Blue, baby blue, white and gold pin stripes do not represent the U.S color wise. They represent Jackie Kennedy who chose the colors. I would like to see some changes--if nothing else get rid of the baby blue engine cowlings. The picture shown I think would be way too loud and a flying billboard but that is just a picture, not the finished product. Trumps personal 757 is tastefully done so I believe the same would carry on with AF1. Overall Trump's changes are for the best.

            Be kinda nice, could call it the green house or the blue house instead of just White House. To be interesting how about color coding the uniforms of the servants who work there? How do you find the White House in the winter? Green would add a nice touch of color to Washington in the winter time, don't you think so?

              I believe gold flake is the color of choice Sam, but your ideas are excellent too. Green would please the environmentalists.

                Instead of just redoing the White House, why not all of D.C. Break up each section into "colors" and paint accordingly, interesting concept. Washington could have their own "red light" district...say the Treasury Department. Color code the vehicles to each department, black is such a drab color and again color code the workers clothing like on a carrier. D.C. is certainly a boring place, color would liven the place up and aircraft flying in would see such soothing color. The streets could be color coded as well,,,make it easier to find one's way. Togor your idea has sprouted wings I do believe.

                  Once upon a time a New Orleans fan of LSU painted his house and driveway the school colors. Not good for the other residents. Imagine trying to sell your house with that sort of a elephant in the neighborhood. Makes a good argument for HOA ... keep someone from doing such a dumb thing. Still, it was his house. He payed for it, etc. And, there was no local ordinance prohibiting it. Guess someone could have painted their house a demokrat theme and it'd have been the same thing. With AF1 ... difference is, it's not the property of the president. It is government property. The paint job ... got to wonder if the effort to change it would even be occurring if blue were not now currently associated with the liberal left ... and red, for better or worse, associated with the conservative right? Never agreed with red as representative of anyone except the liberal left ... think communist, etc. Cannot now see allowing a color broadly associated with left-wing communism to be used on this or any other US government plane that is used merely as transportation for political figures. JMHO. Sincerely. bruce.

                      What about a Southwest Airline scheme? They could call it San Juan One. Trump might patch up relations with Puerto Rico and wouldn't that be an economic boon to us all. No???



                      Might make things better with Cuba too. A million dollar paint job and the price of sugar could possibly come down.







                      For the over tightened shorts crowd, I'm only kidding.
