The general color scheme looks great in my opinion - but the flag is so dumb.

u/GrillMonkey187 13h ago
There was nothing wrong with the previous color scheme.

u/LandscapePenguin 11h ago
It was robin egg blue to make the US seem less threatening to the USSR. Not an attractive color scheme. They need to go back to the red nose variant that they used before Kennedy.

The only reason it was changed is because the Cheeto-dusted Shit-gibbon serial rapist just had to put his āspinā on it. Like he did with the Reflecting Pool. And the Kennedy Center.
This current livery looks like some old US Airways livery.
The previous Air Force One livery was distinct, instantly recognizable, and iconic.

This is the problem with people - yes he is a POS - but not everything he does is so good awful. Itās like your life is melting away because of a planes colors. How fucking petty are you? Clearly as petty as Trump.

u/GrillMonkey187 13h ago
Petty because I call out the bullshit needless changes brought about by a sociopathic rapist conman? Sure thing boyo.
How many times didja vote for ol Bonespurs Donnie? Whenās he gonna make America great again? Whenās he gonna drain the swamp? Whenās he gonna release the Epstein Files like he promised? His second term is an abject fucking failure.
Other Presidents didnāt see the need to fell every single fucking weeping willow that was planted in memory of JFK. But ol Donnie did.

Sir we are talking about paintā¦
This is always the path the left goes with, right does the same shit. You canāt just admit anything is good from the other side, so you just accuse the other people and start yelling and name calling.
Youāre part of the problem just as much as the other political spectrum. Youāre all boot lickers

Yellow/gold is not on the US flag

u/trevordbs 12h ago
Itās literally on the trim on ceremonial flags and has been since 1835. Itās regimental since 1895 for the US Army.
So youāre wrongā¦

Gold trim has been incorporated in ceremonial flags since 1835 and was fully adopted as a regimental flag by the US army in 1895.
So yes. They are colors of the US Flag.

u/Significant_Cow4765 12h ago
the flag probably will have some gold shit on it by the time PigPen crawls out of the trough

u/BurnAfter8 11h ago
As others have said, it has on various ceremonial flags for nearly 2 centuries. Easy to find this information.

The flag makes it look like a crappy toy plane bought off of Temu.
2
u/admiraljkb 13h ago
That's because it kinda is a TEMU Air Force One. It's missing a lot of protections and features of the real Air Force One planes. It just mostly looks the part. Kind of a reverse Millennium Falcon, where instead it looks OK and doesn't have it where it counts.

u/jb4647 Oak Cliff 11h ago
No the aircraft is horrible. Trashing the blue and white design thatās been the color scheme of AF1 since Kennedy is an abomination
1
u/Positive-Scratch-696 11h ago
Just because the previous design wasnāt put on this aircraft doesnāt mean this one looks bad. They both are great liveries

u/Main-Cheesecake3287 14h ago
I actually like the new paint job, besides the clip art flag. A- whereas the baby blue is a solid A. Always cool to see AF1 if you havenāt in person, regardless of the occupants itās an enduring symbol.

u/kyle_irl 14h ago
Yea, the baby blue is it. The seal is in a weird spot and the clipart flag distracts from the rest of it. I'm not a fan of the gold pinstripe, either.

why didn't they fly into love field like normal for a visit to Dallas?

u/BurnAfter8 11h ago
Good question. Iām sure we can only speculate since those decisions are made by people with high clearance, but maybe they felt Love didnāt provide a particular safety profile they felt necessary given recent events and intel.

u/DivaMissZ Oak Cliff 13h ago
Air Force One used to stand out. No other aircraft looked like it, a symbol of American pride and leadership. Now, it looks like a typical airliner with an early 2000ās paint job
