He's lucky to be alive me thinks.


If they had been seen jumping over fences like that and approaching the presidents plane US gaurds would have shot at them fearing they were terroists planting a bomb or something.

Marc Ecko: Why I Tagged Air Force One

Marc, in the video you forgot to mention that you were just doing it as publicity for your second rate "Jet Set Radio"-clone of a game, "Getting Up". :lol:

My view is that graffiti is like speeding. I don't have anything against it so long as it's done appropriately; A well executed mural on a backstreet wall? Lovely. A shabby tag on a war memorial? Not nice. The idea that it makes an area look rough is a bit blinkered too. Sure, no one wants "FTP" and "xxx is a dead man." on their house wall, but I don't let a bit of graf put me off an area. I'm even looking at buying a house that has some graffiti (old, poorly done tags) sprayed on the back of the garage. If I buy it, I'll do a mural over it that is to my taste and chances are the kids will respect it and won't paint over it.

Interestingly, socialogical studies have shown that the best solution to graf is a "battle of wills" of just repainting over the grafitti every day. Eventually they'll stop.

Take serious balls to do something like that. Can u imagine the base commanders face in the morning when george turns up and finds someone has vanalised his aircraft.

How funny would it be if they had to use it for goverment business the next day, is there only 1 airforce one?

If there are any 2000AD fans here, there was a good Judge Dredd story a few years back where a pair of graffiti artists are having a 'battle' defacing each others tags and it culminates in the pair of them defacing a "statue of liberty" type civic statue. :)

No, recently a friend of mine in the us navy told me that there are several of those planes. Its only called AF 1 if the boy himself is on it. If rumsfeld or any of the other liars use the same plane its called AF 2.

You learn something new every day eh?

Any plane that the President is flying would have the designation AF1, or AF2 for the Vice President, all the way down to AF16 (?) for each member of the Administration.

Indeed, those boys shoot first, ask questions later (& dead men don't talk ;))

erm in English please?? :?

Im making a leap of guessing that youre wondering what they call it if no-ones [of the administration] in it? :wink: :lol:

In which case Id suggest AF0 :wink: :D

[valleyboy]

The chances of getting close enough to THAT aircraft to do that would be rather slim indeed.... as many have said, it is shoot first, ask questions later around that aircraft.... actualy, any U.S. aircraft... these days, at most airshows the U.S. stuff has armed guards... and they aint there just for show! :?

[Warthog]

yeah shame its a fake, its a funny thing to have done! But his stupid interview was a bit much, I largely hate graffitti, and the good stuff is VERY few and far between, mostly just dumb scrawls on busses that make everything just look shabby.
