I'd stick with a 747-2/400: (1.) It has 4 engines, the 777 has 2. ETOPS is not a great model for Airforce 1. (2.) The 787 is a carbon fiber & plastic airframe. NEAT! Until you realize that it has zero flight history, no combat history, and repairs are a major bitch to show-stopper. (3.) The 757 (modded) is a hot bird, no doubt. One of my favorite a/c: super sleek, super fast, and turns on a dime; look at one closely sometime - this girl was built to dance. But it's also only got 2 engines (so it'd be etops), and it's small. 747 is the only way to fly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfmRKHtzfFs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:286397 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
