Presidential candidates and their airplanes

photo by Drewski2112

With all the recent news about Super Tuesday in the US, I thought it would be interesting to see what airplanes the candidates are using. Apparently, Democratic front-runners Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are both chartering Boeing 737-800s from ATA (Clinton has already dubbed hers "Hill Force One"). On the Republican side, now-former candidate Mitt Romney used a chartered Xtra Airways Boeing 737-400 (and even though he also chartered an Embraer regional jet from ExpressJet for press use, the press was billed for it); John McCain uses a jetBlue Embraer 190 (with DirecTV in every seat, of course). And the lucky one of these candidates will be able to use Air Force One next year...

If you've got any updates/changes to this partial list, please feel free to leave a comment on this post!
