As part of a month-long aircraft makeover, a painted American flag was removed from the tail of Sen. Barack Obama's official campaign airplane and was replaced with the presidential candidate's trademark "O" symbol.
The refurbished 757 was unveiled to members of the news media today, 41 of whom boarded the craft and took off to meet Obama in Amman, Jordan, where the presidential candidate will stop as part of a Middle Eastern and European tour.
Obama traveled to the Mideast earlier this week on board a separate airplane.
Fox News blogger Bonny Kapp, traveling on Obama's new airplane, reported:
"The North American jet that flew Obama and his traveling crew around for much of the primary season was refurbished with new seats and power for each passenger a must on the campaign trail. And the plane that once had an American flag on its tail now sports the Obama 'O.'"

Yep. Kinda like if Bush replaced the American flag with a big "B." I find his entire campaign disturbing. Look for the flag to be repainted on the tail if enough people question his patriotism over this. It'll be like his flip-flop with the flag pin.
The guy is constantly having to asnwer questions about his patriotism, and takes offense to all of them, then continues to do things that place the question of his patriotism front and center again. He's either totally clueless, or the most arrogant presidential candidate of my lifetime. I mean, even if he HATES the flag and all it stands for, wouldn't he be smart enough to grin and bear it for a few more months? The man is disturbing all the way around. This is just the latest example in a long line of them.
heard the same comment out of his mouth...that he’d expect to be dealing with them for the next 8-10 years as President’’’what a dumb arrogant A**hole
Blah blah blah. It never ends with this guy. You pointed out some very interesting things in your post. All just a coincidence? I don't know, but regardless of who designed it, you're post hits a home run as far as comparing his logo to muslim symbols.
Maybe instead of an "O" for a symbol, Obama should just use a giant "CC," standing for the "Coincidence Candidate."
No
Well sometime over the Next 8 to 10 years with ObamBi as President he will find time to get rid of all the flags
Why the fuss? He did promise change didn't he.
This is what he calls the OKEY DOKE ,he loves doing this ,it is his personality
Maybe he cannot believe what he is seeing and how the press is treating him.
Yesterday I thought, McCain is presenting himself with no bells and whistles. He is campaigning as if he is saying that he is here, running, will serve and we can make up our minds.
There is some dignity there that I like. But perhaps his strategy is to have us all overdose on O till we want to scream.
"2000 hours to go. Allah Akbar”
I flew in the Zaire Airlift in 1978. Will never forget the image of our jets landing in the jungle at Kamina with the American Flag on their tails. I was so proud to be an American that day.
Kinda makes you wanna go “hmmmmmmmmmm?”
size of a postage stamp?
Oh man!!! That’s really not cool! Obama the GOATSE candidate. ROTFLMAO.
Mindboggling. Truly.
I havent taken the antichrist stuff seriously before, but this smacks of Nicolai Carpathia. Its just creepy.
Everything this guy does get creepier and creepier.
it would be cool to have a practice space on the plane to jam in.
Well Bruce was flying maybe half the time, I’m not exactly sure of how he worked his hours. They had two full-time pilots, and Bruce made a third.
They were thinking about going for another Guinness World Record (first one was Donington ‘88 for Loudest Concert) that involves the highest concert ever performed...
(Can you say 747 @ 35,000ft?)
Good on you! Thanks for your service...it is funny that you say that.
I flew a few times on those C-141’s, and yes...there WAS something about that flag painted on them that made you proud to be American.
I was there at Andrews AFB when they flew some of the POW’s back, and I can tell you...as a 15 year old kid, I was damned proud to see that C-141 taxi down the runway in their white and gray MAC color scheme, with that flag painted on them.
It means something, and that is something liberals do not understand.
