  • The light blue on VC-25B is a slightly deeper
  • The VC-25B engines will use the darker blue from the cockpit area vice the VC-25A’s robin’s egg blue
  • There is no polished metal section on the VC-25B

In other words: Nothing new, the same lame design as before, only with a few „changes“.

Apparently, the alloy used in the aircraft skin,doesn’t polish well. While they’re at it, they should replace the stairs with an escalator :smirk:
