Washington (CNN) A new look for Air Force One would replace the presidential jet's current light blue and white color scheme with something more explicitly patriotic, according to plans revealed by President Donald Trump.

"There's your new Air Force One," Trump told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos in an interview that aired Thursday, holding up four mock-ups of a red, white and blue presidential plane with an American flag on the tail that he said were "all slightly different."

Trump's proposed makeover would be the first since President John F. Kennedy was in office. The light blue colors were introduced in a redesign by industrial designer Raymond Loewy for Kennedy in 1962.

Trump touted the redesign as an overall upgrade, saying that although the frame is still a Boeing 747 aircraft, "it's a much bigger plane" with "a much bigger wingspan."

"We added things, and I got $1.6 billion off the price," he added.
