Hype,
Genuine Mercedes Benz Side sill panels (come in a set of six) and used to enhance body styling along side skirts and rear of vehicle. Tried purchasing from the U.S. from a couple of Merc Benz dealers but not available. As luck would have it I was able to obtain some from a MB dealer here in Australia.
Must say I've enjoyed your contributions, musing and photos on the forum.
Thanks for the reply.

SEC DEFENSE
Hi Mtl20v
This aircraft was carrying the Secretary of Defense/Defence Leon Panetta on a trip to Perth on the West coast of Australia back in December.
I tried to get closer, but, there were a lot of Secret Service types surrounding the aircraft.
Here's another photo.
Cheers,

It is probably the same plane but it is called Air Force one only when the President is in it.
Like the Navy one when he rides in a navy helicopter.

No choice with the colour. Last one left at the time.
AMG badge already on car when delivered . . .. . apparently a local custom to drive up sales and offer cosmetic appeal (apparently).
An E63 here in Australia is about the equivalent of USD $280,000 on the road.
We pay a huge premium in this country for luxury cars . . . . . E550 not available here locally.

The president's two 747s are VC-25s. Similar equipment, but designed to look civilian (doesn't have the second hump or as many antennae on top).
Different paint job, also.

What is that second hump? Could it be a laser turret? The airborne laser lab plane is at the AF museum here in Dayton and it has a similar hump atop the fuselage where the laser is housed.
Very cool pictures btw

Different plane. That one is a E4, formerly a National Emergency Airborne Command Post (NEACP, or Kneecap).

It is very civilian looking plane when it has "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" written on the side of it with dog size letters.
