Re: Obama Aircraft Paint Scheme
Anyone hear anything about a second campaign plane? I remember in '04 John Kerry had the Trans-Meridian 757 and the Champion Air 727 in campaign colors.
Anyone see McCain's 737 yet? Is that in campaign colors? He's coming here Wednesday - I'm hoping for good weather to get a good shot.

Its been at EWR for 2 days now
Re: Obama Aircraft Paint Scheme
So I wonder what Sen McCain would use if he goes to Europe, the Middle East or beyond as I presume that 734 does not have the legs whereas Obama's 757 does? And McCains Real Deal Express titles remind me of something you would see on a candidate's Special Campaign Train (something many used to use) not on a Boeing.

Re: Obama Aircraft Paint Scheme
McCain's plane will jsut have to make a extra stops along the way, or charter another aircraft for longer routes, as has been done in the past already for various airport/operational needs.
Re: Obama Aircraft Paint Scheme
Just found out McCain's 737 is actually a 4B7, former N447US an aircraft I have worked and flown on.

Re: Obama Aircraft Paint Scheme
It's cool looking at a plane and knowing you have your own attachment or experiences with it.

Me in what is now the Obama plane.
Re: Obama Aircraft Paint Scheme
Phil, was there any special reason why that particular North American plane was picked to be Obama's, or was it just a random selection?
Re: Obama Aircraft Paint Scheme
N755NA is the only airliners with a B-29-style machien gun turret in the rear, which Secret Service happens to enjoy for mid-air protection.
That's not true. I'm pretty sure it was fairly random.
Re: Obama Aircraft Paint Scheme
Phil. where you riding the brakes in that photo ? And I actually don't reconize the airport ?

Those are the old seats. That's the media section that he is in, anyway, which might not have been reconfigured.
