    That's cool and all, but the US Army infantry uses the light blue that the OP called feminine.

    But the light blue looks like a gayish powder blue.

    I suppose the U.S. Army came up with the "light blue" back when infantrymen liked girls.

    The U.S. Army has way to many colors, shiney buttons, patches, badges and fruit salad.

    This thread is hilarious, you lefties are down to whining about new Airforce 1 plane paint schemes. Carry on partisan hacks...

    How so? The new AF1 won’t be delivered or in service until the end of Trump’s second term. Did you read?

    Was it a petty pet project during the Kennedy administration to dump the military MATC color scheme and go to the current paint scheme found on Air Force One today ?

    Air Force One is a USAF aircraft.

    The President is the Commander in Chief of the military.

    At times FDR use to fly around in an U.S. Army Air Forces B-24 bomber as his "Air Force One."
    FDR also used battleships as his Presidential yacht.

    he Consolidated C-87 Liberator Express was a transport derivative of the B-24 Liberator heavy bomber built during World War II for the United States Army Air Forces.

    ROFL! Russia spent a few hundred thousand on Facebook ads and Hillary Clinton spent $1.2 BILLION and $600,000,000 more than Trump and YOU think that made any difference? What a joke.

    Also, if we want to talk about the real collusion and attack on the American people with the elections it comes from the private parties between the Clintons, DNC, and the Mainstream Media who gave Trump horrible press during the election cycle... and then 90% bad press afterwards. That is the real Orwellian attack on our populace. "Russian influence" is a joke in comparison. A person would have to be a pretty big moron to think it came close to the Orwellian tactics of the Left in the Media, Schools, Bureaucracies, and Social Media.

    ^^^^ Yep!

    Plus Leftist Indoctrination and Control from:

    + Social Media
    + Education
    + Bureaucracies
    + Hollywood / Entertainement

    What is going on is a brainwashing of the weak minded. They then blindly repeat lies and nonsense, because that is what they were told.

    True but then again he didn't triple the premiums and out of pockets for hundreds of millions of people either like the great Obama did. Obamacare was the perfect example of doing nothing would have been a thousand times better than doing something. The something covered 11 millions previously uncovered people that taxpayers paid for, at the same time kicking 60 million off coverage because they made too much for a subsidy but because of the huge rate increases they could no longer afford insurance. Brilliant. AND,the number of uninsured people actually got worse.

    Nice. Makes sense because it could also land on a carrier.

    Avocado colored kitchen appliances were popular at one time, along with beaded doorways, bell bottoms, and asbestos. Times change.

    If I were president I would have a couple of B-1B Lancers rebuilt as B-1Rs and reequipped with a six man cockpit and use that as my go to Air Force One.

    Those plus a few OV-10 Broncos (a vastly underrated aircraft).

    Who? "The Left"?

    Well, this place (PF) Totally DISPROVES your "thesis".

    PF is a place "online" at which 80+% of what passes for "content" is sourced by RW Trash Blogs (thanks to the Pro-Trump RW Domination of this forum).

    So, once again, (judging by the Current State of PF) it seems to be The RW that is doing all that they can to spread ludicrous Pro-Trump Propaganda.

    Now, back to the Actual topic, this update to AF1 is clearly a Wasteful Vanity Project for Trump.

    Trump is a Cheapskate (who has a history of declaring bankruptcy stiffing contractors), however he loves spending other people's money.

    In this case, he is funding his Vanity Project on the backs of hard-working Taxpayers.

    Yeah Iraq or Afghanistan. COIN warfare.

    Its a very flexible platform, they even had small teams parachute out the back.

    It can do anything. Including land and take off from a carrier. Carry wounded soldiers on stretchers. I think NASA uses one for research. I've heard visibility from its huge "greenhouse" canopy is outstanding which of course is an asset for an aircraft with "observation" in its designation. I've seen proposals for modified versions loaded up with Sidewinders for anti helicopter combat and loaded up with Hellfires for anti tank combat.

    The U.S. could do a lot worse than acquire many more of these aircraft.

    Agreed, particularly for low-threat areas.
