midnightprowler Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 No, the one he currently flies in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Not sure if this is the aircraft you are looking for but Draw Decal does these in 1/144 and 1/200 apparently http://www.drawdecal.com/tag/757/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BTW, and just an FYI, not exactly the 747 Airforce One (even though it has the same colors), but the previous 707, do you all know who picked the paint colors? Jackie Kennedy did. She had good taste I say. Melania will be as beautiful of a First Lady circa 2017 as Jackie was circa 1961. IN MY HUMBLE OPINION! TRUMP's 757 will probably get good use by Trump's adult children who obviously will have to take on the full corporate operation now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alternative 4 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Does that mean Trump will be the first President to ride in the new Air Force 1? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So President (elect) Trump will fly on it if and when he wins a second term. Another FYI, after President Nixon resigned and took Air Force One (27000) to fly to California. It took off with its Air Force One call sign. During the flight as President Ford was sworn in, once the ceremony was done the flight President Nixon was on changed from Air Force One to USAF Flight #27000.

Given the nightmare they had with the last presidential helo, there is no guarantee that the the new AF1 will be in service anywhere close to that date. Still, it should be a beautiful bird once it's finally in the air. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it would be. Well anyways Nixon did go on and lived mostly at peace with himself for a number of years after Watergate and his resignation. His legacy I think has tempered with time.

Like it or not Air Force One, regardless of who is POTUS is a most impressive aircraft. The 747-8 will be more so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Smith Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Many years ago I lived on the landing path to my local airport. Planes approaching were so close, I could make out faces in the windows looking down at me. When Bill Clinton came to town, AF1 came in for a landing. Man, talk about impressive! Low and slow and in your face!! I think this was the only 747 that ever landed at this airport. Quick funny story related. My wife was flying home from visiting her family up in NY at the time. When they came in for a landing, she saw both cars still in the driveway. She immediately went into pissed off mode since I was not at the airport waiting on her. She thought for sure she was going to have to wait for me to show up to pick her up. She walked out of the airport baggage claim, and there I was looking at her with a scowl on her face. Priceless when she told me why she was pissed!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I could hear the quote now when I'd tell her but I was on time. "You just don't get it do you?" Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Keeping the topic aircraft related, now President-Elect Trump has had some interesting aircraft and helicopters carry his name over the years. A person could build up a pretty interesting and colorful model fleet. Some quick examples: Best one I could find of this one... cool looking though! And of course his recent Campaign planes: There are others but those are just a quick sampling. Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This was Trump's ride before the 757. Note the Bermuda registry to avoid taxes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
