....Air Force One sure is a sight to behold, up close and personal!


Took these earlier this month, thought I'd share.

The plane has nothing to do with Obama, really. All CinCs ride in that thing.

Very cool. At a dead sprint from there, I wonder if you could have made it to the steps before a dozen agents lowered the boom? :) Hard to tell the distance between the Suburban and the door...

My sister was security aboard AF1 and got me a tour one of the times I was out to visit her. The inside looks very much like the movie with Harrison Ford, only about 50% smaller. She told me a Sgt who had been working security on the plane for many years was removed because on his last flight, he accidentally released a liferaft instead of the door. Apparently you are not allowed any slip ups. When we were getting off the plane, one of the pilots happened to be there and I asked him if the plane had capabilities of defending itself if the escort planes were shot down. He just smiled really big and said "I can't answer that question" I still have one of the AF1 M&M's boxes from the plane, this was when GW was prez.

Technically its NOT Air Force One, unless the President is on board.

Saw it fly over my head one time when i was working just outside of Buckley AFB.

It is quite impressive.

At what altitude is the middle finger unrecognizable?

Whenever I see Boeing aircraft I think their motto should be, "Fuck you, I'm an anteater."

Suck it, Airbus, we've been kicking the air's ass for 110 years.

Que the "you gonna get loved tenderly" pic?

I also saw it fly over my head one day while fishing right after hurricane Katrina, I was 9 years old at the time. Coolest thing I ever saw up until then

Picture of a cigar I swiped off of one of the AF 1's. It was pretty tasty.

A very cool airplane, just been hauling some shitty cargo lately.
