Mark Ecko vs. Air Force One



Check out the footage at StillFree.com and compare with the detailed breakdown by Flight Global on why this is a hoax.

Note to Mark: Next time you mock up plane shots, know you are dealing with these aircraft, engineering and typogrpahic 'experts':


"If you compare some photos of the two VC-25As and compare the antenna layout along the top of the fuselage aft of the upper deck, there are a significant number missing in the video."

"The engines are the old type of General Electric GE CF6-50E as opposed to the latest GE CF6-80C that are on the VC-25As."

"The font used on the aircraft is also slightly wrong, due to different tracking used between characters of the all-capital Palatino. The Presidential Seal, which has changed subtly over the years, is also a different version to the one used currently by president George Bush."


Regardless of whether it's real or not, Mark Ecko's ability to get his message out was a success.
