WASHINGTON – The United States Air Force revealed Tuesday that it will implement a fresh color design for its executive transportation fleet, including future Air Force One aircraft, featuring a combination of red, white, gold and dark blue colors.
This updated appearance represents a shift away from the traditional white and dual-tone blue coloring that has been in use since the Kennedy presidency in the 1960s. The new design incorporates aspects of a red, white and blue color scheme that former President Donald Trump had previously suggested, but which was abandoned in 2022 when Air Force officials concluded that darker paint colors might lead to aircraft overheating problems.
