Boeing 747-8i Paint Schemes

Featured Replies

Hello,

Given there are a limited number of operators out there flying the passenger version of the 747-8i, it might be nice to include an "Air Force One" type paint job - like the existing one and not Trump's red white and blue proposed version which, even if it were eventually done, we don't know yet what it would look like.  Not saying the red, white, and blue version couldn't be made to be classy, but in my opinion it would be more difficult to say the least.  I'm a big fan of the way the current AF1 is painted, and I think it would look great on the -8i too.  

And since I'm here typing away, I'd also suggest including a really slick -8i passenger BBJ so that I could pretend I'm flying myself, my all female crew, and my Private and Custom -8i Palace to all sorts of exotic locations around the globe.

I've asked for the same thing, for different reasons and I found that at least eight -8i VIP have been delivered.  The problem is one cannot copy a corporate aircraft without issues so one has to create a fictional one and that is what the paint kit is for.

Yes, the time has arrived to get familiar with that paint kit and how it all works.  I've started down the learning curve a few times but never saw it through.  I'll look into this over the weekend with new abandon.

P.S.  I have that beautiful red 737 BBJ down in Pago Pago.  I made note of your around the world route, and am loosely following it but making far more stops as I'm a fan of the shorter flights.
