Ms. Zuckman:
In the "Swamp" blog version of your story aboard the McCain campaign
airplane yesterday, you referred to it as a 747. Was that a typo?
Air Force One is a B747-400, and any aircraft in the 747 series would
be almost as large. I was pretty sure that was incorrect, so I looked
around and found this article, about the launch of McCain's B737 in
June: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/29/us/politics/29plane.html?ref=politics
I follow passenger aircraft as a hobby, so this is of great interest
to me. BTW, a B737 has two engines, and a B747 has four, plus an
enlarged widebody fuselage with a telltale upper-deck hump.
I hope Sen. McCain didn't wear you out over the final days and that
you're ready for your next assignment. Good luck!
