President Trump reportedly wants a ‘more American’-looking Air Force One

President Trump is reportedly hoping to make the high skies great again with a new and improved patriotic paint job for Air Force One that “looks more American,” in addition to requesting bigger, more comfortable beds on board.

**SNIP**

The president reportedly wants the jets to be outfitted in a color scheme that "looks more American" and replace the iconic robin’s egg blue declared a "Jackie Kennedy color.” Technically termed "luminous ultramarine", the plane’s current design was selected by President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jackie Kennedy in the 1960s, Axios reports.

Trump’s preferred color scheme would incorporate red, white and blue. In addition, the commander in chief is said to want bigger, more comfortable beds, like those of his personal Boeing 757, in favor of what Axios describes as the current “couch-like sleeping configuration” aboard Air Force One.

Before the Democrats go into their daily hysterics over this, it’s worth noting that Trump’s wishes for the presidential planes will most likely be enjoyed by future presidents, not him. Given how long it takes to get these specialized 747s brought to the required specs, they probably won’t be available for use until late in Trump’s second term or even after.

Is Air Force One shadowed by military fighters when flying? I would think so.

>>>I think it is beautiful and is already very American<<<

Red, White and Blue is American.

That light Blue color scheme is blasé, outdated and does not symbolize the Strength of the greatest Country the World has ever known, IMHO of course.

AF1 also needs some Nose Art. LOL
