    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.

    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.

    Cheers

    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.

    Just found out McCain's 737 is actually a 4B7, former N447US an aircraft I have worked and flown on.

    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?

    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.

    Were those screens part of the cabin upgrade?

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