The 60 year old blue color of the US President’s plane Air Force One is now being changed. According to Donald Trump’s choice, it will be painted in red, white and dark blue. The Biden administration had banned it due to technical reasons, but now this paint scheme is being implemented on new Boeing 747 and C-32 aircraft. The first new aircraft may take flight by summer this year.

Donald Trump had proposed to change it in his first term. However, the Biden administration had banned it citing cost and technical reasons. Trump believes that the red, white and blue colors represent the American flag and are a perfect fit for the world’s most luxurious aircraft. (Reuters Photo)
Changing the color of this ‘White House’ flying in the air is not just a matter of style. In 2022, the Air Force had warned about dark colors. Experts said that the dark blue color in the lower part of the plane could increase the temperature. There was a danger of damage to the sensitive electronic components of the aircraft. But now this design has got the green signal. (Reuters Photo)
Interestingly, the new color scheme is very similar to that of Trump’s personal Boeing 757 aircraft. (Reuters Photo)

Apart from this, four small C-32 aircraft (military version of Boeing 757) will also be painted in the same new color during maintenance. According to reports, the first C-32 aircraft has been painted and will be handed over to the Air Force in the next few months. Now the model of this new design is kept with pride on the table of the Oval Office. (Reuters Photo)
