    i would bet money on the fact that the story about marck echo is bogus. They just want to keep the government appearing invincible. i wouldnt doubt if someone really did spray paint AF1 and they just came up with some bogus story about mark echo doing it.......propaganda.

    watch the video very closely. you can find a few inconsistencies that kinda give it away. First run though it looks VERY VERY real.

    Comment: Marc Ecko has posted on his official website a video of him supposedly tagging the aircraft referenced as Air Force One when the PotUSis onboard.

    www.stillfree.com

    revealed how they pulled it off: a rented 747 in California painted to look almost exactly like Air Force One.

    "I wanted to do something culturally significant, wanted to create a real pop-culture moment," said Marc Ecko of Marc Ecko Enterprises. "It's this completely irreverent, over-the-top thing that could really never happen: this five-dollar can of paint putting a pimple on this Goliath."

    Ecko acknowledged that his company had rented a 747 cargo jet at San Bernardino's airport and covertly painted one side to look like Air Force One. Employees signed secrecy agreements and worked inside a giant hangar until the night the video was made. Ecko declined to say how much the stunt cost.

    "It's not cheap," he said. "You have to be rich
