Donald Trump Wants To Repaint Air Force One To Look 'More American'
Government Executive | July 12, 2018
Donald Trump is not a man tied down by convention. So it’s only fitting that he wants to do away with the iconic robin’s egg blue that has been the symbol of the presidency in the sky for decades. According to Axios, during the negotiations with Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg earlier this year when the two agreed on a deal for the cost of refurbishing the two 747 jets purchased from Boeing in 2017 President Trump specified that he’d like to update the paint job of the aircraft to look “more American.” It’s out with what Trump reportedly called a “Jackie Kennedy color” and in with red, white, and blue.
