Sally, a nickname bestowed upon Barack Obama’s chartered 757 by some in the traveling press, has returned to service after undergoing a month-long makeover for the general election. Her inaugural flight - sans candidate - will be to Amman, Jordan, with a refuel stop in Ireland. There are 69 passengers on board, including 38 members of the press, Secret Service agents, and Obama staffers, including several of Obama’s top foreign policy advisors.

The North American jet that flew Obama and his traveling crew around for much of the primary season was refurbished with new seats and power for each passenger a must on the campaign trail. And the plane that once had an American flag on its tail now sports the Obama “O.” “Change We Can Believe In” and the candidate’s website are splayed across both sides of the fuselage, making this 757 anything but inconspicuous.

Also new to the plane: mesh curtains that divide the press and Secret Service from the staff and candidate’s parts of the plane. While Obama and his staff get first class seating, press and agents are relegated to standard 3 seats-per-row seating. But, staffers advise us that some rows were taken out of the plane to give us more leg room.

Prior to getting refurbished, the plane sported hundreds of photographs documenting life on the campaign trail. While her walls are bare now, expect a more personal cabin after the press get reacquainted with the plane on this 14-hour journey to the Middle East.
Check out some photos of the new and improved 757 below.



Press Section of the Plane

First Class for Staff. Beyond the silver curtain is where Obama will sit. The section has just four Lay-Z-Boy style seats, at least one of which is embroidered with the Obama ‘08 logo in its headrest. The roomy section has just one other feature - a table for four.

Because he's not a hero. He's a silent guardian,

I heard Al Gore is the pilot.

What a megalomaniac Obama has become. When they take his picture now, do they artificially photoshop a halo above his head, too?

Yeah, sorry, no pictures on this one.



COMING UP NEXT:

Bob Barr's transportation: One Toyota Corolla equipped with a cash only minibar.


Ralph Nader's transportation: Ten Huffy bicycles. One for Ralph, one for his running mate, two for his speech writing staffers, three for his fundraising and donations staff, one for the press (usually goes unused), one carrying the bullhorns and one bicycle mechanic.

Would it make you feel better if he wears two flag pins tomorrow?

C'mon now. There are a ton of real issues to discuss. Don't embarrass yourself with this nonsense.

I heard he's a Muslim.

The reason John McCains plane isn't in the News is because it keeps crashing.

Keep on kick'in their arse's, Keith.

I'm happy he removes the US flag..he has no business using it.





If he wants to fly a flag-
