Air Force One Livery
Is nothing sacred? I'll admit that Trump's paint upside down on the pres!dential airplane looks good. In fact it looks very stately and official. If he wasn't copying what's already on his 57, it might be a good choice.
But I think the traditional blue and white that Jackie Kennedy picked is so iconic and classic (and looks good) that it shouldn't be messed with. If it is time for a change, it should be something that's less obviously narcissistic. This Is not unlike Frank Underwood putting his cigarette out on the American flag.

It could have been worse. As my former USAF friend said "at least they aren't changing the callsign to 'Merica F@ck Yeah!"

No different than what Harper did to one of our CC-150s.

Re: Air Force One Livery
Personally, I think it looks sharp.
There’s enough things to criticize Trump about without having to invent more.

Geez did I say that....? Or just think it....?
Re: Air Force One Livery
So to be clear, in one thread we’re lamenting not moving forward enough in space exploration since the sixties but in this thread another icon of the sixties shall never be updated. Is there like a chart or something that I can reference to know what thing I have no control over that I’m supposed to be upset about?
To be fair, I don’t really care for the proposed new look for the Air Force VC-25s either. A symbol like that needs the modern equivalent of Raymond Loewy or Saul Bass on the job to design a timeless paint scheme to last another half decade or more.

Gee, new paint job.
Will anyone get severe PSTD symptoms from this Trump decision?
Go to designated safe places.....now, and apply for disability.
I see a spike in therapist bookings imminently.
I'm sure this post will hit 5 pages before tommorrow. Trump is the end of civilization!
How dare he change Jackie's paint choice?
The media hysteria over the way Trump blows his nose has reached epic proportions.

Or your typical conservative any time Trudeau does anything. The T in TDS doesn’t just stand for Trump.

Jackie Kennedy had time to create a good paint scheme because Jack and Bobby were busy getting Marilyn Monroe whacked

Re: Air Force One Livery
I actually kinda like the new paint job, needs a few tweaks, but good start. I'd bet $1000 it wasn't trump who designed it either. He just suggested it be updated, it has been 60 years!

I love seeing the left freak out about meaningless stuff like this, they hate Trump so much.
.....most things just aren't that important.
