February 18, 2026 • Google News World
The U.S. Air Force has announced plans to repaint its VIP fleet, including Air Force One and the C-32A “Air Force Two” jet, in a new color scheme preferred by former President Donald Trump.
According to sources, the aircraft will be painted in a red, white, blue, and gold color scheme, which is reportedly Trump’s signature palette. The exact details of the paint job are not yet known, but it is expected that the changes will be implemented soon.
The U.S. Air Force has not commented publicly on the reasons behind the decision to repaint the aircraft in this new color scheme. However, sources close to the matter have confirmed that the changes are being made at Trump’s request.
It is worth noting that the U.S. Air Force typically follows a standard color scheme for its aircraft, which includes various shades of gray and white. The use of a specific color scheme is usually determined by the Department of Defense and is intended to maintain consistency across all military aircraft.
The repaint of the VIP fleet is expected to be completed in the coming weeks or months, although an exact timeline has not been confirmed.
