Making Air Force One Great Again

Trump wants to change the plane's signature blue-and-white look that goes back 55 years, to a redesign of the presidential aircraft by President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jackie Kennedy in the early 1960s.

We’re told that Trump wants a color scheme that "looks more American" and isn’t a "Jackie Kennedy color." He doesn’t think the current blue (technically "luminous ultramarine") represents the USA.

I hope he doesn't forget to put that shark-mouth thing on the nose.

I also hope he hasn't gone too overboard with the "Trump Force One" thing. It's an Air Force ship, run by people who've signed up to serve in the Air Force, not the "Trump Force."

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

I read an interesting thread on Quora the other day by a former AF One pilot.  The ground crew uses Gold Medal flour to polish the aluminum skin to a mirror shine. Anything more abrasive than flour produces scratches.

He should replace the seats in the press pool section of the aircraft with benches JUST like American paratroopers sat on in C-47s during WWII.

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Paint it to look like this and the liberals will have such a collective meltdown that they will not even notice that Kavanaugh is confirmed.
