Yup, as I said, they will obstruct just about everything and anything. :rolleyes:
I imagine it's not cheap as hell to paint a plane, but it's ALREADY going to be painted since they are new, so it looks to be simply replacing one striped color for another. $4 billion dollars for 2 planes and they are going to be pricks about a colored stripe. :rolleyes:

Congress may thwart Decorator-in-Chief Trump on design for Air Force One
During an interview with ABC News this week, President Trump unveiled a new color scheme for Air Force One that he said he designed himself for the next generation of the presidential fleet of Boeing 747s. But lawmakers who have to approve the cost might have different ideas.
The red, white and blue layout Trump came up with is a departure from the blue-and-white scheme that has been in place since the 1960s. Last year, Trump struck a deal with Boeing to purchase two Air Force One planes at a cost of $3.9 billion.
However, the president’s design dreams were potentially undercut across town at Wednesday’s House Armed Services Committee’s markup of the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Rep. Joe Courtney, D-Conn., put forth an amendment that would require congressional approval for changes to the paint scheme and interior design of Air Force One. Although Republicans said it seemed like a poke at the president, Courtney defended it as an economy measure.
