Got to say, any A340-500 for me!

I don't know if it qualifies since it's not exactly a VIP aircraft, but my vote goes to the Netherlands Air Force DC-10.



It's been retired, but when it was still in use it was used for cargo and troup transport. The Netherlands Air Force has two more of these, but they're KDC-10s and in use as tanker aircraft, although they can also haul cargo or troups. Shortly they will be replaced by two A330 MRTT aircraft and that will be the end of the DC-10 in Dutch service.

Oh yes, it does.
In fact it brings me back my preferred "Non-VIP" Mil KC-10 (long gone painting indeed):

Here are some of my favourites:
Like already posted by another user, I like the French Air Force A330-200. Imagine that livery on an A350-900...


Also the Mexican Air Force 787-8
.

I also can't wait to see the new Air Force One livery; red, white and blue can look amazing when done correctly, but can also look pretty bad when done wrong.
