WTF?

Actually it will NOT be Air Force One or a replica there of since he is not The President. An airplane is only Air Force One when the President is on board.

Fine. It's a replica of a USAF VC-25.

That doesn't answer the question of why the hell that's there and just what it's function is.

A full-scale replica of Air Force one arrives at Invesco Field at Mile High. The replica was built by a group of aviation enthusiasts in partnership with Nu-Tek Aircraft Instruments of Augusta, Kan. (THE DENVER POST | CRAIG F. WALKER)


That's not the real Air Force One at Invesco Field.

But it sure looks like it.

A full-scale replica of the fuselage of the presidential plane came in today from Kansas.

It's part of the memorabilia display, The American Presidential Experience, which opens to the public Friday in Parking Lot D for its week-long run through the Democratic National Convention.

Tickets to the exhibit, which is closed to the general public Aug. 28 for security reasons during Sen. Barack Obama's speech, are available at the Invesco box office at $15 for adults and $10 for children and seniors.

They can't be using that replica for the speech tonight. Who would be crazy enough to do that?

WRONG. The VC-25 is from a 747 aircraft, that mock up is obviously not a VC-25

The only think its missing is the cinder blocks under the axles of the tractor trailer where the tires once were.
