Reminds me of olde US Air and British Airway liveries. I prefer the current livery and the 1950’s “Eagle” livery. You?

Ewwww :thumbdown:

The original livery is iconic and beautiful. There is nothing like it in the world. I just don't see the need to change it :shrug:

Humans hate change. It’s a proven fact.

I like the new. AF1 should be Red White and Blue. I have always liked the old too though. :D

Agreed - too much red on this one

ISTM that Air Force One should be instantly recognizable. The current livery accomplishes that. The new one, while pretty, doesn’t.

The Eagle is cheesy.

When I’m elected President, we’ll buy Ike’s Connie back and fly that!

I can take or leave the new colors, but why did they get rid of the polished sections?! Those were the best part.

I'm sure the guys that had to keep them polished thought so too.

While I like the current AF1 scheme, I never did understand why it didn't have red in it, a la the flag colors. So, I think I prefer the new......(I may be a bit biased, as "my" Baron is red/white/blue.... :D )

Isn't that just this paint scheme turned upside down?

I've always had mixed feelings about the livery of AF 1. It displays the pride and prestige of America, but it's also a bull's eye. But smarter people than I have weighed the pros and cons. I like the new livery.

AF1 lower is dark blue, TF1 is black upper.

FWIW, they aren't supposed to be delivered until the end of 2024, so Trumps use would be limited, provided he even gets the nod again in November. :shrug:

Actually I like it. The model isnt as good as some of the 2D drawings I just saw.

I just wonder what it would have looked like if the blue and red stripe extended up the nose a little bit, like a reverse of the old delta scheme
