Maybe it's just because it's what I'm used to, but the way Air Force One appears now is more distinctive. The new design is ok, but it looks too much like a common airline livery. It's almost like the old American Airlines livery from 25 years ago.
On the technical end, the 747-8 isn't capable of refueling in the air, which is something I would have thought they'd want to be able to do in the event of an emergency of any kind. It just seems a bit limiting to not be able to have that capability anymore.
