President Trump to have Air Force One repainted

[Siete]

Ever notice Trump is all about saving government money...


except when it is for him?

Siete please explain to lewdog about maintenance and Flt hours on an aircraft and who negotiated to pay full retail for these Aircraft in 2015...

What's the big deal? It's unneeded. If you think it is the same as giving any other plane a new paint job you are quite mistaken. Air Force One is not your ordinary jetliner.

Trump worked to take away the free lunch program from poor kids, yet wants to spend money for shit like this.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

Somebody just tell lewdog that he is to catch the short bus from now on...

theres not a plane made that doesnt have a cycle life ... sooner or later their C maintenance comes up and they are worth giving away- but not much more.

727's have a cycle life of about 80,000 - at that point you can pick one up for well under a million $$ -

if I'm not mistaken Trump bought his 757 from a Mexican Commercial Airline for under $7 million with several thousand cycles remaining then tossed a bucket of bucks on paint, leather, avionics, and scheduled maintenance -- he claims its worth $20 + million

uh, no Big Shot.

Yeah, that'll fix everything.

Now he's a real President and our Country is back on track to be great...again.

The sad part is that Trumpy will probably not be around long enough to use his newly decorated toy.

Oh? gonna impeach him are ya...for what.....being born in the USA and married to a woman?

The current scheme came from JFK. The president wants the 2 new ones to have a more patriotic one.

 

[JBond]

Try doing research. There are two new planes coming off the line at boeing. He is suggesting that the current paint scheme designed in 1960 be updated. He is not suggesting repainting the current plane.

The same paint scheme has been used by Presidents over several generations. Trump only wants to change the plane scheme so that he can say he did it, not because it needs to be done. The new planes won't even be ready for him to use before he leaves office.

And you have spoken to him to know that's why he wants to do it? There is nothing wrong with changing the paint scheme. Truman, Eisenhower and JFK had different paint schemes. What's the big deal?

You're just lying.

It was the Obama administration that cut back on the portions in school lunches, causing many kids to go to classes hungry. They also replaced milk with "fat-free milk", which is what is left of milk after the manufacturer extracts the vast majority of the nutrients out of it for use in other products. Manufacturers love this because they can sell the milk twice, thus making much more profit, at the expense of the taxpayers and children's health.

The Obama administration also allowed meat to be replaced with animal fodder, which contains endocrine disruptors, in the school lunches. They take the toxic waste of the soybean oil industry and put it in school lunches.

It is very unhealthy for kids to consume that crap.

You aren't even talking about the same fucking thing.

Trump got rid of free lunches for poor kids.

Obama simply tried to make lunches more nutritious. Obama fucked up... Trump is just heartless.

More pathetic lies. You just can't help yourself. Fucking idiot.

School lunch programs were not eliminated. Lie after fucking lie from douche bag libs.

Oh I understand completely... I know a little about the aviation industry... I wanted you to explain to your progressive friend, lewdog…

I think we can afford it...thanks Trump!
In regards to the new AF1.

"White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said the president's negotiating skill had shaved "more than $1.4 billion" off the purchase price. But that claim could not be independently verified, and at least one analyst was skeptical."

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Trump has spent a shit load of $$$ on his own old fleet of planes bringing them up to his narcissistic standards - time he spent taxpayer money to pump up his ego and impress KGB thugs and Communist Koreans.

So a US citizen can afford to keep his jets freshly painted but the US government cant?

Ugly? You don't like the State Blue? You know it was President John F. Kennedy in 1962 who was responsible for Air Force One being painted State Blue, in 1962 they decide to replace the President Eisenhower Boeing 707's and the aircraft the USAF purchased was two Boeing C-137 Stratoliners and originally they were supposed to be painted in the livery of Red and Metallic Gold this was the HORRENDOUS colour scheme that the United States Air Force had chosen (Red and Metallic Gold would look very CHEAP, the USAF obviously do not have a CLUE about pleasing Aesthetics), JFK did not like the look of this, he asked the Industrial Designer Raymond Loewry to think of a different colour scheme and Loewry chose State Blue, White and also Cyan which is a greenish pale blue and so this is what was agreed on, Raymond Loewry designed many famous other Logos and famous colour schemes during the 20th Century see the below link to Raymond Loewry for his other famous designs.

The below is a Boeing C-137 Stratoliner VC-137C SAM 26000 aka Air Force One from 1962 (the second identical Boeing C-137 Stratoliner was VC-SAM 27000), the livery is very attractive, State Blue and White and Cyan (where U.S. Air Force and the Seal are), this aircraft was Designated Air Force One from 1962-1998 so it was the Air Force One of JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and Clinton:

Before the JFK 1962 Raymond Loewry colour redesign, the below is what the Air Force One colour scheme looked like, it also was a different plane, I think the below is the VC-137 SAM 970 or the VC-137 SAM 972 both were two of three Boeing 707's that President Dwight Eisenhower had used during the 1950s, this below picture shows JFK and Jackie-O getting off the plane what date I do not know except it has to be BEFORE August 10 1962 because on August 10 1962 the new Boeing C-137 Stratoliner VC-137C SAM 26000 with the livery of State Blue, White and Cyan made it's Maiden Flight, I add that the below colour scheme is also attractive:

I'm not big on the baby blue either.
But then who else could still appear menacing in baby blue other than the U.S.?

This is just one more indication of how deranged the left is. There is nothing to slight for them to get hysterical over.

And you need to learn the difference between getting hysterical and poking fun at someone or something.

In the mind of the partisan hacks, there is no difference. You either sniff Trump’s ass like they do or you are a hysterical hater.

I think its VERY bland looking. I prefer a dark blue or the red white and blue President Trump wants.

Yeah.....the blue would look bad ass.
I think it would be cool for Trump to ask American designers to submit their ideas and let Americans choose out of the final pool of entries.

These Aircraft were ordered long before the present day POTUS ever came down the escalator... PBO decided to order the new Aircraft...

Obama done it for bill's wife thinking him and mich could borrow them from the Clinton's...

it makes more sense to order a new plane than it does to keep spending $$$ on the old AF1 ... planes - all planes have an air frame time limit on them no matter how you fluff and buff one it reaches its hourly airtime limit and gets retired from service.

but when has Trump done anything that makes sense ?

The new planes show up in 2024.
