President Donald Trump revealed sketches of the brand new red, white, and blue paint scheme for Air Force One to ABC News George Stephanopoulos. There are a couple of secrets, Trump said, adding that he had been able to knock $1.6 billion off the original estimate. You know what, there are a couple of secrets I dont think were supposed to be talking about. Stephanopoulos then asked whether the plane had a secret hatch to release a pod from the back of the aircraft like in the movie Air Force One. Everyone wants to know, is there a pod or not? Stephanopoulos asked, joking. When the president looked confused, he asked, Seen the movie Air Force One? The famous pod that flies out of the back?
Oh, I see, Trump then said. But, yeahno.

(9,350 posts)1. A Step Down From the Current Paint Scheme
I guess he wants Air Force One to look like his personal airplane, but that new paint scheme would be a step down from the current paint scheme. The current paint scheme make Air Force One look unique. The paint scheme that Trump wants to put on Air Force One make it look like any corporate airline. As a matter of fact, the paint scheme Trump wants for Air Force One looks like the old paint scheme for US Airways. Google US Airways + paint scheme and the first picture that come up will be an almost exact match to the paint scheme Trump is requesting.
