Key takeaways
- Bloomberg was the first to report on the flight on the new Boeing Co. 747-8, which Trump unveiled last week at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.
- The new plane has a red, white, gold and navy blue color scheme, with a presidential seal on its left side and an American flag on the tale.
- The jet is set to be a bridge aircraft used between the older Boeing 747-200s that have been in use for over 20 years and the two new Boeing planes that will not be ready until 2028.
