President Biden Has No Plans To Change Air Force One Livery, For Now

President Biden’s press secretary said he “hasn’t given one thought to changing the color scheme of Air Force One” when Boeing Co. eventually replaces the two planes that ferry the President and Vice-President, who flies in Air Force Two.

Trump had submitted a proposal through the military to change the current light blue schematic designed more than 60 years ago by President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy to red, white and blue to mimic the colors of the United States flag.

Whether Biden eventually has similar ideas remains to be seen but, at the moment, there’s more pressing matters to attend to.

“We are certainly aware of the White House military unit’s proposal that has been submitted to them about reconsidering the color scheme of Air Force One,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during a press briefing. “I can confirm for you here that the President has not spent a moment thinking about the color scheme of Air Force One or anything in the house or any article of anything. No one is going to submit a decision memo to him on that particular topic, but certainly we’re aware of the proposal, and as there are any updates, we’re happy to provide them to you.”
