Pentagon budget shows what new Air Force One paint job will look like
he Pentagon on Monday revealed the final paint job plans for the revamped Air Force One presidential aircraft — a red, white and blue style reminiscent of the planes in President Trump's former airline.
The Air Force is requesting $800.9 million in fiscal 2021 for the "VC-25B Presidential Aircraft Recapitalization program." It is meant to replace the current Air Force One aircraft with two new, modified Boeing 747-8s, according to the Trump administration's defense budget request.
The new aircraft — depicted in budget documents with a white top half, blue bottom third and red streak down the middle — "will provide the President, staff, and guests with safe and reliable air transportation at the same level of security and communications capability available in the White House," according to the budget documents.
Trump since 2018 has said he hopes to change the paint job on the new Air Force Ones, departing from the light blue and white scheme — designed by former President Kennedy and first lady Jacqueline Kennedy — for a new red, white and dark blue color scheme.
VERTISEMENT
Trump in June 2019 shared the first renderings of a redesigned aircraft. Observers have noted that the new pattern is similar to the former Trump Shuttle planes that the president managed decades ago as a private businessman.
The House Armed Services Committee, worried that Trump would seek unnecessary and costly changes to the aircraft upgrade, last year sought to require congressional approval for alterations to the aircraft’s paint scheme and interior design. The amendment did not make it into the final fiscal 2020 National Defense Authorization Act.
The Air Force in July 2018 signed a $3.9 billion contract with Boeing to design, modify, test, certify and deliver two 747 planes to replace the older aircraft by the end of 2024, which would be the end of a possible second term for Trump.
The $800.9 million requested for fiscal 2021 would continue the engineering, manufacturing and development and modifications to the commercial aircraft.
A final decision on the planes’ paint color and design isn’t set until 2021, however, making it possible that it won’t be changed if Trump fails to win reelection this year.

Slack Shares Crash After-Hours Following IBM "No News" Update-following a report IBM would use it across it's company
Slack shares soared over 15% intraday on 7x normal volume after a Business Insider report said that the company was being used across all of IBM's business - prompting rejoicing among the company's investors. There's just one thing… (shares were halted "news pending" 5 minutes ahead of the bell) and this is the news…
Regulation FD Disclosure
On February 10, 2020, a Business Insider article was published about Slack Technologies, Inc. (“Slack”). The article stated that International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) purchased Slack for all of its employees worldwide and further that IBM is Slack’s largest customer to date.
IBM has been Slack's largest customer for several years and has expanded its usage of Slack over that time. Slack is not updating its financial guidance for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020 or for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020.
Roughly translate - There is no news! And the share are plunging back to earth in the after hours. Oh can we get a better market (and media).

and I'm positive the 'tute holders used today to exit as it was 7x normal volume as mentioned.
See cap#2
This is a perfect example of what is wrong with our markets. This was allowed to go on ALL DAY and only halted 5 minutes prior to close so unless you got out then you are now at the whim of where it will go now. Afterhours markets are different for two reasons..they are very thinly traded so this drop is likely cushioned and will only reveal the true extent upon the opening bell tomorrow and you must match a share lot size with your desired price. So you can't just put it a market order to sell 5k shares at any price, you must look at the order book to see what is on offer and sell it this way.
TIME to clean out the SEC-LONG OVERDUE.
