WASHINGTON, Feb 17 (Reuters) – The U.S. Air Force is rolling out a new paint scheme across its executive airlift fleet, including the next-generation Air Force One aircraft, in a color palette of red, white, gold and dark blue, the service announced on Tuesday.
The new design marks a departure from the current white and two-tone blue livery dating to President John F. Kennedy’s administration, and revives elements of former President Donald Trump’s proposed red, white and blue scheme that was scrapped in 2022 after the Air Force determined darker colors could cause overheating issues.
