You Can Buy the President's Real Air Force One Airplane
Here's something that you never really run across eBay or Craigslist: the real Air Force One airplane. As in the freaking flying aircraft that has freaking transported freaking Presidents of the freaking United States of America in the freaking air. (gizmodo.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Wow, I hope they don't spray it with "Skunk Spray Number 9" That would certainly devalue the plane.
Did anyone else think this was spam at first?
No, Have seen other items that looked funny that were true. But it is definitely the ability to own something that no one else has.
In fact, ANY military aircraft flown by the President is referred to as Air Force One (if an AF plane), Navy One (if Navy--think of George W. Bush who flew onto the aircraft carrier during the Iraq War) or Marine One (usually the helicopter but technically any Marine aircraft). The two VC-25s that sit at Andrews AFB (KADW) are what most people think of when the press talks about Air Force One.
Did a president really take a ride on this crate? I recall Algore coming to Wilmington NC (ILM) on a DC-9 but never heard of a president to ride on anything except one of the 742s.
And will it be sprayed with the fragrance used by the First Lady before delivery ? :-)
