Default Obama & Biden Departing KDTW

N755NA B757-200


Biden was right behind in this chartered Sun Country 737-800 N809SY



And why not some others from the day!
AeroMexico N906AM 737-700



Murray Air DC-8-63 N921R running on the ramp at KYIP


Northwest A330-300 N820NW



And I know I know, the cropping is too tight. But try telling that to JetPhotos.net where they are uploaded to next!

Shouldn't that be "Change in which we can believe" ?
<j/k>

Excellent series. Nice find with the OEM-engined DC8
I'm sure they'll be received with open 1s and 0s at JetPhotos...

Ah nice to see another JetPhotos.net guy here, and just down the 401 too! Awesome shots by the way, should try to meet up with you at DTW sometimes as Ive never had the best of luck there. Mainly shoot at Toronto.

If elected president, will Obama promise to stop plastering jets with his slogans?

"Yes we can!". Isn't that Bob the Builders?

I am all about the paint schemes and the aircraft, not who is in it. To show I am not endorsing any presidential candidate, here is my photograph of McCain's aircraft when he was in Detroit See... I'm not one sided

They are actually leases. McCain's aircraft is leased from Swift Air, and Obama's aircraft is leased from North American Airlines. Once they are done with them, they paint them back to the airlines colors and return them. And the other guy gets Air Force One

Nice shots...only pick would be not to crop so tight in the flying shots, but that's just me

You and me both....never knew this either. Since I work right next to the airport, I am gonna have to keep an eye out for these planes.

Nice shots, IMO. They capture the beautiful irony which is excess disguised as "change". Wonderful!
