As part of a month-long aircraft makeover, a painted American flag was removed from the tail of Sen. Barack Obama's
official campaign airplane and was replaced with the presidential candidate's trademark "O" symbol.

The refurbished 757 was unveiled to members of the news media today, 41 of whom boa rded the craft and took off to meet Obama in Amman, Jordan, where the presidential candidate will stop as part of a Middle Eastern and European tour.

Obama traveled to the Mideast earlier this week on board a separate airplane.

Fox News blogger Bonny Kapp, traveling on Obama's new airplane, reported:

"The North American jet that flew Obama and his traveling crew around for much of the primary season was refurbished with new seats and power for each passenger a must on the campaign trail. And the plane that once had an American flag on its tail now sports the Obama 'O.' "
Obama's 'O' symbol is red, white and blue.

Most official U.S. government aircraft, including Air Force One, have U.S. flags on their tails.

Both Fox News and the Chicago Sun-Times posted pictures of the Obama campaign's redressed airplane, which does not have an American flag or any other U.S. national symbols on the section that sports the Airplane door from which Obama and his team will enter and exit.

The airplane boasts Obama's anthem, "Change We Can Believe In" and the candidate's website address.

The aircraft also has required identification numbers and a U.S. flag to identify the nationality of the aircraft.

According to Chicago Sun-Times reporter Lynn Sweet, the refurbished Obama aircraft features a "first class" section for the candidate and his closest advisors; several "business class" seats, and a large coach section, usually meant for the traveling press corps.

Sweet reported fruit and cheese platters greeted reporters on board the flight. Dinner options offered were beef medallions, baked tilapia or eggplant parmesan.

She wrote the Obama campaign provided overnight kits for the flight that include toothbrush, mouthwash, socks, Neutrogena body lotion and lip moisturizer, Scope mouthwash, ear plugs and a blindfold for sleeping.

Good God...this man already is acting like he's won the Presidency...does being in the hip pocket of a Kennedy suspected of having been involved in the death of a pregnant woman (and yes, I'm aware that the files on this woman are sealed and won't be cleared to be opened until after 75 years after the date of the incident...making sure Kennedy is long gone before he can have to answer anything embarrassing to anyone) guarantee the spot these days???  Only, the President would NEVER erase the American flag from anything, much less such a visable manner of conveyance.  WHOOOPS...maybe it's that only the President and members of his cabinet that can fly the colors on the plane...and the 'big O' got his hands slapped for having been so presumptuous as to mimic the President too soon.  Does anyone know what the official protocol on planes is?  Are the President and members of his cabinet the only ones who have the flag on the tail of their planes?
