Note this is the one from Qatar, modified and upgraded on a very, very accelerated timeline, the "bridge" aircraft. Likely missing a bunch of "nice to have" features. The official upgraded aircraft is due 2028 or later.

Being used by the Qatari royal family for 10 years, I can't imagine what horrible things have happened on that plane. I'm surprised Trump didn't try to slap his name on it, considering he'll be the only one really using it.

Apparently it sat unused, too expensive to operate and they couldn't give it away until...

This color scheme is much more beautiful and powerful compared to the old one.

Don't even know how they greenlighted that color scheme back in the 60s. That shade of light blue is nowhere to be found in the American Flag

Trump is keeping it apparently, so not really the new AF1

Still the proper new AF1 is going to have the same color scheme of the one in the pic .

And only a person without a sense of aesthetics would revert it to the old color scheme, much like only a person without a sense of aestetics would demolish the new D.C. arch or the new ballroom solely because it was installed by Trump.

He has a nice taste for construction,
