Is this at Zero’s request?

Will Pelosi get the 747?

Times are tight folks.

We’re all cutting back and making sacrifices.

I think it’s time we consider replacing AF1 with a bus pass.

You’d think the USAF would have learned by now. And it certainly won’t be acceptable after the inauguration to have POTUS flying around in a French product.

Does he really need three? I’m sure he can get buy with a twin turbo prop.

Thoughts from a pilot?

If I were elected President, Air Force One would be an AC-130.

These are very low time aircraft. There’s no reason to get rid of them.

If Obama wants Air Force One to be of foreign make, a Tupolev-144 SST would be the perfect plane for him, his staff and several members of Congress to take trips in. I think there is still one left.

What kind of retard even considers an aircraft that can only land at a few airports? Even the brightest future plans don't put the A-380 at more than a handful of airports.

So the government would buy a European made plane? Aren’t we citizens supposed to buy American cars to help out The Big Three? Boeing should ask for some bailout money, then someone in DC would react by nixing the Airbus plane in favor of a Boeing....

How many years did the 707 last as AF1? Wasn’t Reagan’s only flight on the new 747 AF1 his flight home after Bush won? It’s not that old, hell make him fly on a DC3.

Well it would be fun to tell the press to go to the back of the bus.

Tupolev Tu-95 Pictures, Images and Photos

The Soviet Tu-95 is much more suitable for Obama...

Eliminate Air Force One.

There’s nothing in todays world that the President can’t do that is part of his responsibility that can’t be done from the White House.

An A-380 sounds just right. It can only go to New York & L.A. That fits perfectly with avoiding us bitter gun clingers in fly-over-coutry just fine.

I seem to recall that A380’s tend to crash a lot.

Instead of replacing AF 1 with an airbus...let's just relace it with a regular bus!

That would fit obammer much better....he could even sit up front if he wanted to!

Then, when obammer needed to go overseas, obammer could fly commercial coach class.

The replacement for the current AF1 won’t be on line until long after 0bama is gone.
