While that is petty cool.
I wonder how much jail time he's going to get.

[Mr.Scruff]

Says it's fake in the legal disclaimer. He only added that though once he was found it, self publicising nob.

[A-wreck]

There is a disclaimer, but it doesn't say that it is fake.

[A-wreck]

O.k.
It says it's fake.

Allow me to be the fackin know-it-all to remind everyone it's only Air Force One when the President is on board.

[Benny Profane]

[Jumper Bones]

I can fully assure you that if he tried to do this at Andrews, his shit would get absolutely FUCKED up as soon as he set foot on the tarmac.

they got all sorts of cool toys to zap people there. I've been at the other end of a sniper's rifle before. They don't fuck around.

[Hayduke]

His left eye keeps winking at me!

[Shorey]

I've been at the other end of a sniper's rifle before. They don't fuck around.

That means you've been shot dead. That means you have internet access in your coffin. That's inspired.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A startling Internet video that shows someone spraying graffiti on President Bush's jet looked so authentic that the Air Force wasn't immediately certain whether the plane had been targeted.

It was all a hoax. No one actually sprayed the slogan "Still Free" on the cowling of Air Force One.

The pranksters responsible for the grainy, two-minute Web video - employed by a New York fashion company - revealed Friday how they pulled it off: a rented 747 in California painted to look almost exactly like Air Force One.

"I wanted to do something culturally significant, wanted to create a real pop-culture moment," said Marc Ecko of Marc Ecko Enterprises. "It's this completely irreverent, over-the-top thing that could really never happen: this five-dollar can of paint putting a pimple on this Goliath."

The video shows hooded graffiti artists climbing barbed-wire fences and sneaking past guards with dogs to approach the jumbo jet. They spray-paint a slogan associated with free expression.

After the video began circulating on the Web on Tuesday, the Air Force checked to see whether the plane had been vandalized.

"We're looking at it, too," said Lt. Col. Bruce Alexander, a spokesman for the Air Mobility Command's 89th Airlift Wing, which operates Air Force One. "It looks very real."

Alexander later confirmed that no such spray-painting had occurred.

Ecko acknowledged Friday that his company had rented a 747 cargo jet at San Bernardino's airport and covertly painted one side to look like Air Force One. Employees signed secrecy agreements and worked inside a giant hangar until the night the video was made. Ecko declined to say how much the stunt cost.

"It's not cheap," he said. "You have to be rich."

[Tippster]

Heh - if enough people say you're bald you're gonna run your fingers through your hair to check.....

"It's not cheap," he said. "You have to be rich."

What a dick.

security at Andrews is taken seriously. Have you worked there? I have.
