Video of Air Force 1 being tagged!!!!!

Post by MD-11er »

I don't know if this is old news but found this site about a guy who tagged Air Force 1 to let the people know his message. :D :D :D

If you click on the pictures you can watch the video


I think next time Air Force 1 will visit one of your cities it will become even more difficult to spot. :(

But The message is great :lol:

Oh my god! :D You must be crazy to do something like that. And what will be the end of the story? Are they arrested or something like that?

But I must be honest, it's a beautiful video and hazardous operation!

Kind regards

I can understand (I do not justify, support or encourage it) graffiti or tags as being the voice of those that had less opportunities ; however this guy seems well cultivated and well educated. It would have been fairer if this lowlife would have admitted that his only goal was 5 minutes of fame.

This is obviously a fake - there is NO way to even get close to the President's plane at ANY time. I live in the Washington, DC area and occasionally visit Andrews Air Force Base in suburban Maryland (about 40 Km from the White House). The security is tight just to get on the base! Fifteen years ago (in an era of lesser security), I was visiting a friend at the base and wanted to take a photo of the plane (it is only called Air Force 1 when the President is aboard). There is a yellow line painted on the tarmac around the plane about 30 meters from the plane. Signs warned that stepping over the yellow line could result in deadly force being used (read – “You'll be shot if we can not stop you otherwise!”), and this was in an era of much lower security. There are M-16 armed guards surrounding the plane.

When the plane is at another airport, it is constantly surrounded by security forces. There is NO way to get close.

Yes, it was reported as a fake. Add to the fact that whatever airport in ANY country Air Force 1 lands in, all air traffic is brought to a halt. No way for someone to get close :)

There are no strangers in the world, just friends we have yet to meet.
