Israel’s “Air Force One,” as it’s been dubbed by Israeli media, rolled out of the garage with its new paint job on Saturday morning at Ben Gurion International Airport.

The plane, which will serve the prime minister and president, will undergo engine test flights.

Ynet‘s Itai Blumethal reports that the top of the plane is painted blue and the bottom white. The tail boasts a large Star of David. The words “State of Israel” are written on the body of the plane.

The plane had flown for Australia’s Qantas airlines and is 19 years old.

It’s undergone upgrades and renovations to make it suitable for flying Israel’s heads of state.

Some of the upgrades are reportedly defense systems against cyber attacks and missiles.
