March 2023 images: the new Air Force One colour scheme for the VC-25B "Boeing 747-8s"...

While accounting for the VC-25B’s larger 747-8i aircraft,
the VC-25B livery has three primary differences with the VC-25A’s livery.

The light blue on VC-25B is a slightly deeper, more modern tone than VC-25A's robin's egg blue.

Additionally, the VC-25B engines will use the darker blue from the cockpit area vice the VC-25A’s robin’s egg blue.

Finally, there is no polished metal section on the VC-25B because modern commercial aircraft skin alloys don't allow for it.
