US Presidential Airlift Fleet to Undergo Major Design Change Amid Trump Administration
The US Air Force has begun repainting its Air Force Two aircraft in a new dark navy, red and gold paint scheme favored by President Donald Trump. The fleet makeover marks the first visible sign that the executive airlift’s long-anticipated redesign is underway. According to AeroTime, the repaint effort is taking place as aircraft cycle through scheduled maintenance and upgrades rather than through a fleetwide grounding. This approach suggests a phased rollout rather than a hard deadline. For aviation watchers, the repaint may be cosmetic, but for the Air Force it represents a visible shift in branding across some of its most recognizable aircraft.
