Trump: I’ll Repaint Air Force One To “Power Blue”

The Associated Press reports: 

Trump popped in to the plane’s press cabin Saturday night while flying from Las Vegas to Florida, where he was staying at his Doral golf club through Monday evening, though he insisted he’d be too busy to hit the links. Trump called Air Force One a “special plane” but observed that it hasn’t changed much from his last term. And, yes, he still wants to change the plane’s exterior colors. “We want power blue, not baby blue,” Trump said. “Everything has its time and place. We’ll be changing the colors.”

Read the full article. As has been widely reported, the underbelly of Air Force One is painted “baby blue” because that makes the aircraft blend in with the sky, rendering it less visible to potential rocket attacks launched from the ground. Last month Trump raged that the Air Force One replacement currently under construction will not be completed until after his term. Also, contrary to his claim to reporters, Trump indeed golfed today.
