Billions has been spent on the two new planes to act as Air Force One

Donald Trump is ‘100 percent’ going to make a huge change to the president’s official plane, Air Force One, if he wins the 2024 election and sets foot back in the Oval Office.

The 2024 US presidential election will see Trump face off against Vice President Kamala Harris, who has spent the last four years alongside Joe Biden after he beat Trump back in 2020.

Voting is now underway in the 2024 race as the world holds its breath ahead of a final result, which could come overnight or days away, given how tight the polling has been. We simply don’t know who will win, with the two candidates tied in the polls and, more importantly, tied in the key swing states needed to secure the power of the presidency.

But if he wins, Trump is reportedly dead set on making one massive change to the vehicle used by the president of the United States (POTUS) to get around the world.

Air Force One is actually the code name for any United States Air Force aircraft carrying the POTUS through the skies.

There are two specially configured planes that the POTUS travels on, both of them being Boeing 747-200B planes.

They are effectively flying bunkers, complete with a conference and dining room, an executive suite for the president and their partner, six toilets, medical equipment, and accommodation for guests, Secret Service, security, and members of the press.

And while Biden has already ordered two new planes to serve as Air Force One at a whopping cost of $3.9 billion (£3 billion), Trump is looking to rip up the plans if he wins the election.

The new models have been ordered in the familiar duck egg blue, gold and white design that has existed since the 1960s after being first commissioned by former first lady, Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis.

Well, it looks like Trump will say goodbye to tradition if he wins, with the former The Apprentice presenter keen to bring back his plans to change the colours to red, white, and dark blue.

This is despite Biden scrapping this colour scheme due to it being potentially dangerous and expensive.

One former senior White House official, who remains close to the Trump campaign, told Politico that the former POTUS is ‘absolutely 100 percent’ set on the colour scheme, with Trump showing off models of his design during the final years of his first term.

The planes are set to be delivered to the US Air Force in 2026 and 2027.

The insider said: “The model was on the coffee table in the Oval Office and he pointed it out many times to foreign and domestic visitors.

“He thought it represented America more and represented strength, the red, white, and blue.”

Boeing said the colour scheme wanted by Trump would be a danger to the aircrafts and make high engine temperatures worse.

When asked for comment, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said: “Sounds like Joe Biden hates the Red, White, and Blue.”
