I don’t think I’ve ever made that claim. But I have seen Trump’s plane in person and I have been an artist for more than 40 years, so feel free to debate that.

George is wrong, which is no surprise. He refuses to admit it, which is also no surprise.

I'm going with black.

POTUS obviously doesn't appreciate the tactical advantage of having a belly painted the color of the sky.

Talk to any car painter, they'll all tell you that black and white are as difficult as any to match correctly. The idea that there's only one black in the whole color spectrum is not accurate.

I agree with the OP. AF1 as it is presented today is a great looking airplane. Leave it.

Someone from our broader community was part of this team.

Wow - thanks for posting this, Mike. What a beautiful aircraft.

Love seeing the dedication of this team.

The current scheme is very classy, why change it? I’d be disappointed to see it changed no matter who is in the White House.

That aircraft would look good painted to resemble the Trump baby blimp!

Nice to see him trigger every lefty on the planet. Again.

The president said that breathing is really good!









Just waiting to see how many people suffocate from holding their breath after reading that.

It would be simpler for you to admit that you’re just wrong in this instance.

I’m sorry that it hurts your anti-Trump narrative. (That would be sarcasm.)

He will never admit error. His typical Mo is a personal attack, then spin like above, or disappear for a day then pretend it never happened. :rolleyes:


Trump's plane (top) is black and gold. Those are his colors.

I like the red, white, and blue.

Clearly it should wear a big ol' Orange ribbon.

Cool ^

of course AF1 is any AF plane that the POTUS is flying aboard.

No kidding. He got the TDS'ers to chant "Red White & Blue wrong for AF1"

I have no strong preference. I know that a local design firm did the current 747 paint layout. ...spring boarding off of the 707 design of POTUS Johnson era.

I kind of like the flying flag look of "Trump's proposal." -I fully expect that a group of designer came up with that, and not Trump doodling on Photoshop. But.... if it helps feed the TDS rage....

island911 06-14-2019 12:21 PM

The country is doing well when AF1 paint scheme is the angst of the day.

Champaign problems. :)

Sorry if that offends the perpetually perturbed TDS'ers.

not sorry
