Back before the Iowa primary, Senators Barack Obama and John McCain spent
lots of time rolling around that state on campaign busses. But with the clock ticking toward election day and much bigger terrain to cover, both presumptive presidential nominees have long since turned mostly to business jet travel.
During the primaries, Sen. Obama (D-Ill.) chartered a Boeing 757-200ER with a conventional airline seating arrangement. Now his campaign has customized another 757 (N755NA), according to New York-based North American Airlines, the jet’s operator. The interior has being reconfigured with a first-class section for the candidate and his closest advisers, a business-class section for other campaign officials and coach for journalists. A new paint job features Obama’s theme, “Change We Can Believe In,” on the fuselage, and the candidate’s logo on the tail.
