Trump wants a new paint job on Air Force One

[KMack]

President Trump wants to update the paint job on the next version of Air Force One, ditching the iconic robin's-egg blue (which he calls a "Jackie Kennedy color") for a bolder, "more American" look.
The big picture: Trump rarely gets into the weeds of government negotiations. But he sat down in the Oval Office with Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg in February to personally hammer out the $4 billion deal for a pair of replacement 747s for use as Air Force One (the call sign for whatever aircraft the president is on).

The blue does look 50s and outdated. But I thought he was all against spending money on AF1 at first and didn't even want to use it. What's with the change of attitude?

The new design looks tacky as hell, imo.

It is probably about the useful life of the existing planes? Current planes are probably close to 30 years old, guessing. New versions will be able to fly much further also, like a 1,000 miles further.

I personally see nothing wrong with updating it, but maybe go with a less garish design.
