Not exactly a huge fan of Obama, however...
It would look alot better if someone else were flying in it.
Cool pic
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.

I nominate you for having the coolest story of the month.
I wonder if there is a minigun hiding inside that suburban
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?
Cool pics but the thread title should have been, "neat snapshots of Airforce One Whilst on another full of fuck mission ole chap".
He's only renting and the lease is almost up.
I thought "he" had the name changed to " Watermelon 1 ".
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
Cool jet.
Fuck Obama.

beat me to it.
I wonder if Obama has ever flown Southwest.
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.
