据消息人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露,美国空军为总统及要员专机配备的飞机,其机身上肯尼迪时代的涂装颜色正在被替换为总统特朗普偏爱的新配色方案。消息人士称,包括捐赠的卡塔尔喷气式飞机以及波音正在改装的两架“空军一号”专机在内的飞机都将采用新颜色。
官员们表示,一些蓝白相间的飞机在进行定期维修保养时,已经开始被重新喷涂为藏青色、深红色和金色。
当前机队采用的经典知更鸟蛋蓝色配色方案可追溯至肯尼迪政府时期。
美国空军发言人表示,“空军一号”专机以及行政机队中的其他飞机,包括卡塔尔捐赠的新型747-8i飞机和C-32飞机,都必须采用新的红、藏青和白色涂装。

特朗普在其第一任期内曾推出一款模型飞机,采用他希望用于“空军一号”的涂装颜色,但拜登总统取消了为波音747客机版本的VC-25B飞机设计的这一涂装。
新的涂装要求还包括较小的C-32飞机,这些飞机搭载第一夫人或内阁高级官员等高优先级人员,副总统登机时则作为“空军二号”使用。
承包商L3哈里斯公司正在其位于得克萨斯州格林维尔的工厂对“空军二号”飞机进行升级改造。
2018年签署的协议中,波音继续为新一代“空军一号”飞机进行研发。与此同时,美国空军正在翻新的卡塔尔捐赠飞机预计不迟于今年夏天即可投入使用。
第一架C-32飞机已完成涂装,预计将在未来几个月内交付给美国空军。

U.S. Air Force VIP fleet being repainted in Trump’s preferred palette, sources say

The Kennedy-era paint colors on the exterior of aircraft in the U.S. Air Force presidential and VIP fleet are being replaced with a new design in President Trump’s preferred palette. The new colors will appear on planes including the donated Qatari jet and two planes Boeing is converting to serve as Air Force One, sources told CBS News.
Some of the blue and white aircraft are already being repainted in dark navy blue, deep red and gold as they come in for scheduled due repairs and maintenance, the officials said.
The classic robin’s egg blue color scheme of the current fleet dates back to the Kennedy administration.
The new red, dark blue and white paint job is being required for Air Force One jets as well as others in the executive fleet, including the new 747-8i from Qatar and C-32 aircraft, an Air Force spokesperson said.

Mr. Trump in his first term rolled out a model airplane with the paint colors he wanted for Air Force One, but President Joe Biden canceled that paint design for the VC-25Bs, the Defense Department’s version of the Boeing 747 airliner.
The new paint requirement includes the smaller C-32 aircraft, which carry high-priority personnel such as the first lady or top cabinet officials, and serve as Air Force Two when the vice president is aboard.

Boeing continues to work on a new generation of Air Force One planes in a deal signed in 2018. Meanwhile, the plane donated by Qatar that the Air Force is refurbishing is expected to be ready for use as Air Force One no later than this summer.
The first C-32 has been painted and is expected to be delivered to the Air Force in the next few months.
The War Zone, a defense news and analysis website, reported on images of the C-32 painted in the new color scheme.
