Melania Trump Style A Source of Air Force One's New Style
[Breitbart] President Donald Trump unveiled a plane model on Thursday demonstrating the new color scheme for Air Force One.

The model was spotted on a table in the Oval Office during a meeting between President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

"I would say the plane basically is an upgrade over that model. We actually are getting things that they didn’t get. We’re saving about $1.5 billion. So it’s going to be terrific," Trump told reporters.

The new Air Force One will go into service in 2024.

Despite some critics lamenting the loss of the baby blue and gold paint scheme, Trump is ready for a change.

"You know what? It’s been a long time and it fits the plane better ... and I like the concept of red white and blue, and the classic," he said in an interview with Fox and Friends on Friday. "I think it’s going to look much better actually."

He said the new colors were inspired by first lady Melania Trump’s fashion style, just as the old colors were inspired by former first lady Jackie Kennedy.

#1 ...The new design doesn't look too bad - a lot more dignified than I'd expected - but to me it resembles a British Airways color scheme, and I think AF1 should be more distinctive than that.

#2 Should give it the shark's mouth of the Flying Tigers. That would be distinctive, no?
