The House want the final say if President Trump decides to change Air Force One’s paint job from the blue-and-white livery that has adorned presidential planes for more than a half century. (www.defenseone.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Good point made by others - let Congress study the issue - nothing will ever happen just like their current legislative record.
who is the better designer, raymond loewy or the tangerine buffoon?
"Air Force One's livery was redesigned by Loewy in 1962 using slate and cyan blues. The presidential seal was added to both sides of the fuselage near the nose, a large American flag was painted on the tail and the sides of the aircraft read "United States of America" in all capital letters. Loewy's work won immediate praise from the president and the press. Variations on Loewy's original design are today flown by most of the US Air Force's fleet of VIP aircraft

It should always be painted with the color of the hair of the sitting POTUS...
...once again, a legit topic spins right down the toilet........
AF-1 is a Classic visual. I've been fortunate enough to have seen it several times at different airport around the world over the years. And, nothing bring greater pride of nationality than seeing that aircraft in another country, with its current paint job. That being, of course, the colors produced during the Kennedy administration...Thank you, Mrs. Kennedy. Nothing states the presence of the United States more that our Air Force One. There is no reason to change it. Other than....Trump wants him name associated with anything and everything he can get his hands on. Be it a Wall, a War, be it a military parade for himself, be it hijacking the 4th of July...for himself, be it turning AF-1 into a pseudo-military/looking aircraft to represent the United States [in a Trump way] Let us all do our best to STOP THIS ACT OF FOOLISHNESS!
Yes, don't mess with a classic!
