As someone that paints airplanes for a living, I like it. Has a simple elegance to it and the colors work well together.

I like it, but its missing something. What could it be?

Quote History

Quoted:

But the blue on the model is as much darker as the blue on the current AF1 is lighter than the blue on the flag. The national seal is almost invisible, too. The comment about resembling the US Air paint scheme may be why it doesn't strike me right as well.

View Quote

Hmm, do you think the blue look darker just because there are no white stars for contrast?

There's probably someone on here who knows the Pantone numbers.

The red stripe gives it the Trump touch.

Because our President represents America locally and around the world, he travels with a large group of useful people plus a bunch of journalists, so flying southwest in coach is probably out.

Should have brought back the eagle

I agree,it looks like a charter airline paintjob.

I think it look awesome! I've always thought the current scheme was gay AF.

I like it. Was half expecting a troll paint job with the red on the bottom.

I agree with those saying it looks like something flown by a discount airline.

The current design is iconic and goes back a long damn time.

Some history:

Truman...

Ike...

Starting in 1962...

This one entered service in 1972 and resides in Reagan's library:

1990...

It's a classic Raymond Loewy design that requires Congressional approval to change.

I prefer the current paint scheme. I know it dates back to the Kennedy Administration but, it's still very recognizable/iconic as AF-1.

Posted: 2/11/2020 8:48:06 PM EST

[#29]

I was thinking it would be mostly blue but with a red stripe running vertically from the nose along the bottom, with the upper deck in yellow. Possibly some orange around the cockpit area too, just to rub it in.

Probably reasonably priced, which is even better.

I took a look at his last budget proposal, I don't think Trump gives two fucks about the expense.

I think it looks OK. Same as old livery, looks OK. Would be cool to see it with no paint and just polished aluminum.

Posted: 2/11/2020 8:49:22 PM EST

Looks way cool. Red white and blue. None of the baby blue color. I think it kicks ass.

I think it looks like a 2nd tier airline. What do you guys think?
