Air Force One will be painted red, white and blue

SUMMARY

The U.S. military announced that Air Force One will be painted in a red, white, and blue color scheme favored by President Donald Trump. The updated look will also apply to other jets flying government officials. Boeing is modifying two 747-800 aircraft to replace the current aging fleet.

Originally, Trump pushed for a white-and-navy design, which has now been reversed by President Joe Biden due to concerns over costs and delivery delays. Trump stated, “we want power blue, not baby blue,” regarding the aircraft's colors. A third 747-8i jet will also be painted in the new colors.
