    Obama's First Air Force One Flight Takes Place Thursday

    Politico.com:
    Air Force One makes its maiden flight with the new president tomorrow afternoon, when Obama takes a one-day "out and back excursion" to the House Democratic Caucus retreat at the Kingsmill Resort and Spa in Williamsburg, Va.
    Obama has flown on the VC-25 once, when it delivered him from Chicago to Washington prior to the inauguration, but not yet as President.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    No, they used the C-32 for that trip.

    Moose, you sure about that.

    As I recall at the end of that Air Force One show that aired last week, They showed Obama being picked up in Chicago on his way to Washington.
    It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

    Right, on the C-32. You could clearly tell the aircraft was not the VC-25 and it had winglets.

    Ok. Guess I was not paying enough attention.

    Yes, when I saw the show, I noticed the winglets out the door. I'm surprised they tried to pass it off as AF1. LIARS.
