The U.S. Air Force has confirmed that the VC-25B “Bridge” aircraft is now wearing its new red, white, and blue paint scheme. The aircraft had been undergoing modification and flight testing at L3Harris’ facility in Texas before moving to Waco to be painted.
The jet, gifted to the Trump administration by the government of Qatar, is set to serve as an interim Air Force One aircraft ahead of the arrival of two fully outfitted VC-25Bs from Boeing.
The VC-25B Bridge aircraft is expected to make its public debut on July 4, which is also the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. The Air Force has confirmed that the aircraft has been painted and is going through final modifications, but no additional details on delivery dates have been provided.
