Trump has revealed some seriously boring designs for a new Air Force One Livery:
All are pretty uninspired, but at least there’s not too much of his personal stamp. All because he thinks the classic light blue is wimpy.
However, the House Armed Services Committee just approved an amendment that would limit Trump’s discretion in both exterior and interior design of the new aircraft: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Oh no, it most definitely has his personal stamp. It's basically like he took the livery from his personal jet, flipped it, then removed a couple of the black stripes. lol He's an artist!

Tbh I don’t think it looks that bad.
Miss Mercedes is right though, it looks a lot like his personal planes.

Just wait for the vinyl wraps of his kids’ faces on each of the nacelles.
Not Baron, though, he can go back on the tail with Karen McDougal and Mitch McConnell.
For Sweden

It’s clearly worse than the current livery, but I don’t hate it. It looks like a handsome freighter.
The USAF will stall until the next election.

I’m trying to figure out the differences between the 4 options. All i can see is that 2 and 4 have different engine cover colors from 1 and 3

I had the same thought. It’s not like the the new one looks ugly or anythi ng but it is very generic. The current light blues are classy, iconic, and unique.

Next he’ll be calling The White House, Washington Palace and flying the presidential flag when ever he is home.

Hell just executive order a paint job. Surprised he could color in the lunes there. Wasn’t there an article here on why the plane is blue to begin with?

With war on the horizon in the Persian Gulf, I’m glad to see he’s working on the important things.
Interestingly, there was red and blue in one of Loewy’s early concepts for AF1. I think where he ended up is better than this, and far better than the airline livery that Trump seems to like.
What Trump chose is nothing more than a boring airline livery. Now, where have I seen that before?

I think the word you are looking for is “boring.” The current livery is instantly recognizable all over the world. He needs to leave it the hell alone.
