Summary
Trump noted that the entire fleet of federal planes will have the same color scheme. President Donald Trump unveiled the new Air Force One plane Friday at Joint Base Andrews, a day after one of the two Boeing 747-200s used by presidents for nearly the last four decades completed its final trip upon returning from the G7 in France. Boeing is working on two presidential plans commissioned in a 2018 contract during Trump's first term.
Furthermore, Then-President Joe Biden reversed the decision in March 2023 as an Air Force review suggested that the darker colors could increase costs and delay delivery of the new jets, but once Trump returned to office, he returned to his desired colors for the plane. An Air Force spokesperson, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive plans, told The Associated Press that the two current planes, known as VC-25As, will not be retiring. His return from the Group of 7 summit in France this week was the last planned trip aboard the old Air Force One, he said.
In addition, Trump confirmed that he would be taking the new jet to the Nato summit in Ankara, Turkey, next month and indicated he would be returning to China “at some point during the year”, presumably a reference to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit that China is hosting in November.
