The presidential limousine, with President Donald Trump inside, arrives in front of the new Air Force One, Wednesday, July 1, 2026, at Joint Base Andrews, Md.
President Donald Trump has taken his maiden voyage on a new Air Force One. Trump's plane landed in North Dakota on Wednesday morning. The retrofitted Boeing 747-800, worth $400 million, was a gift from Qatar. Gone is the trademark light blue hull that helped Air Force One blend into the sky. The refurbished jet is painted in Trump’s preferred color scheme: a navy-blue belly with red and gold stripes. It has luxury features like plush carpets, lie-flat seats, wood paneling and a presidential seal on the seat belts. Trump is in North Dakota visiting the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, which opens on the nation’s 250th anniversary.
