Transitioned out of DC-3's & 4's to the Herc. Typed for AN-2's. Happy PILOT, end of story.

What, if any, accommodations have been instituted by BA for existing paid reservations under British law?

Just another bird strike for Boeing.

Corporate ACCOUNTABILITY at Boeing. Name some names - and, no 'golden parachute(s).

Trailing lynx318's sage comment; at the end of the day, AF1 is the taxpayer's bird. When/if ever this (primarily) command and control aircraft actually needs repainting, DoD and the GAO will crunch the numbers, and the XXth Congress will rubber stamp whatever livery scheme is pronounced appropriate for the time.

I neglected to mention that in 1973 I crewed on a 117D out of El Toro piloted by CWO (Gunner) Henry Wilfang! He came out our way from Cherry Point on a TAD 'IG' trip to inspect VMGR-352. He insisted on getting some stick time on a shiny C-117 that had just returned from PAR - on the hop to MCB (at the time) 29 Palms, we landed on Marston matting - the only operating runway on the base back then.
