Balus

By IAN TAUKURO

 

Seeing how many of us are getting so worked up over the new Falcon for our pollies, I thought I'd send out this picture of what Barack Obama flies around in...

When our Falcon lands at Jackson's, it will obviously be met with disgust and derision by the public.

However, wherever, Air Force One lands, people, especially Americans, gaze in awe at this magnificent symbol of American power and wealth. (The aircraft is responsible for carrying the US president here, there and anywhere he goes and is, essentially, a military aircraft, flown and maintained by military personnel.)

 I understand that the plane has an escort of two or three fighter jets when it is in the air and, if traveling overseas, a few navy ships positioned on the sea under the flight path, just to ensure that nothing goes wrong ... these Americans are truly over the top!

But, if you love planes like I do ... open up the picture and drool away!
