AIR FORCE ONE WILL LOOK LIKE THIS

We've seen the renderings and the scale model , but what will the proposed Air Force One actually look like in a real-world setting? Assuming President Trump can follow through on his plan for a new livery, this should give us a good idea: Air Force One takes off in the proposed livery by President Trump. I've been sitting on this rendition for quite some time; so long, in fact, that I forgot what it was I still wanted to work on before release. I suppose it's "good enough" though. UPDATE In light of the recent presidential election results it's safe to assume Air Force One will now retain its historical livery: President-elect Biden will almost certainly go with the traditional design. UPDATE [March 10, 2023] The Biden administration has selected a modified version of the traditional Raymond Loewy-designed livery for the upcoming Air Force One: A rendering of VC-25B featuring the new paint scheme. The new design differs slightly from the pr...

Watch the Aegean Airlines A320neo debut live at 13:30 UTC / 8:30 a.m. EST on February 12, 2020! UPDATE As anticipated, the new livery is very similar to the prediction in my earlier post . I'll have more to say about it there, along with updated information and the first plane spotter photos. Here are some highlights from the reveal: The first Aegean Airlines Airbus A320neo with title and tail illuminated during the unveiling ceremony.

WHEN LIVERY DESIGN GOES BAD

One of the criticism of the possible Aegean Airlines livery from the previous post is it does not look very Greek (I agree). My guess is they wanted to maintain a connection and continuity with the old logo featuring two stylized seagulls while "freshening" up the design.

PRESIDENT TRUMP AIR FORCE ONE LIVERY

We are finally getting a first look at the proposed livery change to Air Force One. Assuming the colors are the official colors of the flag , here is a rendition of it: President Trump Air Force One design.

AIR FORCE ONE LIVERY DESIGN

What could a "red, white and blue" Air Force One possibly look like? With work on a new fleet of Boeing 747-8 aircraft now underway and President Trump's expressed desire to change the iconic Air Force One livery to "something more American," I decided to attempt a new design just for fun. This turned out to be much more difficult than I imagined it would. Air Force One is one of the most recognized liveries in aviation history by one of the most respected industrial designers— Raymond Loewy . While I think elements of it look dated—particularly the blue tail "swoosh"—it's still unique and elegant. I would much prefer to see its continued use than to see a bland new livery. I humbly acknowledge my offering will fall squarely in that category for many people. As a regular visitor to Airliners.net I know how divided opinions are whenever a new livery is revealed. So with that caveat, and with some trepidation, here it is: Updated November ...
