AF1 on tour.

[fabiane]

Hi guys,
sorry, I'm spamming the forum a bit lately, but I hope you like the pics. Was playing with that Recorder tool a bit.

Still didn't figure out how to get those W&F like views...

Anyway, here's my first try with that "Recorder" tool and a few pics I took in the same flight.
Next time I try to get more double pics, but I'm tired now and my wireless flightsick's batteries are empty and I don't have some charged ones left.
hope you like the pics,
Greetings from Stuttgart,
Fabian

The last one is very impressive to me!!!
Like the others too of course.

[gijake]

to get the fancy w&f type view, you go to Recorder then advance spot view- then edit view, and then you change it there.

Nice! WOW! THE TYPING IS IN GERMAN! That's Biz-nitchin!
Cheers,
Doc.

[killerbunny]

[fabiane]

Thank you gijake, now I figured out how it works!
Impressive tool!
I'll post some mid-air-refueling soon.

Cool shots Fabian! I like these!

But two Air Force One's? That's not very likely now is it?
And does that mean we now have two George Bushes??

God help us!

[fabiane]

Why not 2?

Great pics Fabian, but to answer your questions, there are actually two identical 747's in the AF1 livery, both fully equipped with all the top secret jiggery pokery, but.......

To get technical, 'Air Force One' is not the call sign of that plane - 'Air Force One' is the call sign of any aircraft that is flying with the President on board - therefore, two AF1's is impossible. The funny thing is, if you happened to be flying a 172 with George 'dubya' Bush aboard, then that plane would be AF1

Cheers,

TSC.

[Sir_Jon]

Yep TSC is absolutely correct, there are 2 converted 747's that are the same, and both used to transport the President.

I knew this ***small voice: but I forgot***

[haroldkip]

And is there also an Air Force 2? The callsign for the plane carrying the Vice President? Or would that plane be called "Dick Air"

[fabiane]

....and Air Force 3 would be "Connie Air"?

Actually, you are dead right! 'Air Force 2' is a converted B757 which Dick Cheney flies around in.
