abc.net.au/news/new-air-force-one-will-stay-blue-and-white-biden-decides/102084922United States president Joe Biden will stick with a blue-and-white colour scheme for the replacement Air Force One jets, discarding a red, white and blue design originally chosen by former president Donald Trump.
They will replace the existing Air Force One fleet of two ageing Boeing 747-200 aircraft, with the first replacement jet expected to be delivered in four years. The top half of the plane would have been white and the bottom, including the belly, would have been dark blue. A streak of dark red would have run from the cockpit to the tail.An Air Force review suggested the darker colours would increase costs and delay delivery of the new jumbo jets.
