Air Force 1

[FrenchieCat]

Is rather large!

Weird that we never saw these kind of photos when the Chimp was in charge!

Or perhaps we did, and I just didn't bother the look. :shrug:








Oh yeah, a funny music video about Bipartisanship made from some of the slideshow photos at the Whitehouse.gov site!

1. He can run the whole country from that one plane

shit's amazing.

[politicasista]

19. That really is

:)

[Vinca]

2. I am so happy our plane is finally occupied by a sane person.

There's something about Air Force One, isn't there? I'd love to fly on it. The President should run a lottery and allow private citizens a chance to travel along on the people's jet once in awhile.

[ginnyinWI]

5. yeah but I still don't like the jacket.

It reminds me of the former occupant too much! :(

[oregonjen]

9. Yeah, but his socks at least don't have the presidential seal

:evilgrin:

[Vinca]

10. I agree. The jacket is cheesy. I imagine the people in charge

of the plane order them up and I wish they could do something other than a jacket that resembles the Future Farmers of America jackets.

11. LOLLERSKATES

I wish they could do something other than a jacket that resembles the Future Farmers of America jackets.

:rofl:

[peaches2003]

16. Me too!

I feel the same way. Not so much the jacket itself, but his name on it. I always thought the Chimp had it on his jackets to remember his name.

[RamboLiberal]

17. Looks good on Obama

Now here's some garb and a President on AF1 that makes me :puke:

[firedupdem]

26. Holy Shit!

:puke:

[Clio the Leo]

3. It's amazing all they can fit in there....

.... and on top of that, on some trips, Marine 1, "The Beast" (his limo) and several other limos go with him. (although I think on some trips that requires one of those hugs cargo planes.)

I'm also glad to see there's room in Air Force 1 for his new shoes. :)

[backscatter712]

12. IIRC, a C-17 flies ahead of Air Force One,

and that C-17 carries Marine One and Cadillac One, along with several other vehicles.

[charlie and algernon]

24. A couple planes fly ahead to each stop with limos and whatnot

I saw a history channel program last night where they even flew in several tanker trucks loaded with fuel for AF1 since they couldn't trust the fuel in Africa.

[tinymontgomery]

4. How come I don't see the

presidential seal on his shoe's and socks?
:sarcasm:

[Jennicut]

6. The conference room on the air force one is even bigger

The plane, or should I say planes as there are two, have state of the art video conferencing on them, fax machines, internet, etc. Plus two beds! Its huge.

[Veruca Salt]

7. There was an awesome program on National Geographic channel about AF1 and Marine 1

If you ever get the chance do check it out! Even though * shows up a couple times and smirks around (I just roll my eyes now when I see that... am I getting soft?!), the program was worth it.

[BR_Parkway]

8. Here's the layout - wish there were more pics

[ginnyinWI]

13. cool--thanks for posting. n/t

[Clio the Leo]

23. oh cool, I'd been looking for this...

.... stalker that I am.

[rainbow4321]

25. They showed most all the areas on that AF1 special

Freaking amazing to see allll those rooms..it was hard to remember that it was a PLANE. The kitchen area alone could have passed for a regular restaurant kitchen with all the equipment and kitchen staff running around in it.
One other news station had a video of it, also...theirs went a little TOO far, they **really** didn't need to have their tour guide open the SHOWER door so they could get a close up of the shower stall. Pretty much could have done a "there's the bathroom area" deal.

[crikkett]

14. Notice the blackberry

w/in arm's reach in every shot

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

15. Oh no. Did he use Air Force 1 to go to Denver today? I'm so upset.

He should have taken the bus.

[FrenchieCat]

18. Hitchhiking would have saved on gas!

[Catshrink]

20. OMG they aren't wearing jackets in the AF1 office!

Don't they respect the office?

(for those who need it) :sarcasm:

[Orsino]

21. When you scrape off eight years' worth of encrusted slime...

...the interior is pretty roomy.

[Clio the Leo]

22. lol, did the Captain turn on the "no smoking" light above the TV? NT

[rainbow4321]

27. If you're like me, you pretty much avoided Prez pics from Jan 20 2001 - Jan 19, 2009

Not something I would purposely seek out or click on during that time frame. It was never a good thing when the first thing that came to mind was "that has to be photoshopped. UGH, please let that be photoshopped..."

[defendandprotect]

28. NOT "Made in the USA" I think I heard the other day . . . where? Not sure.

[crimsonblue]

29. It looks like Obama got his shoes resoled or got new ones...

that elitist bastard.
