Air Force One Sprayed With “Still Free” Graffiti

A video started circulating the internet showing Air Force One being sprayed with Graffiti. The words “Still Free” were sprayed on the engine nacelle. After the video started being spread across the Internet, the Air Force was asked about the graffiti.

“We’re looking at it, too,” said Lt. Col. Bruce Alexander, a spokesman for the Air Mobility Command’s 89th Airlift Wing, which operates Air Force One. “It looks very real.

Later the Air Force confirmed the actual Air Force One was not vandelized.

Turns out the prank was pulled off by Marc Ecko.

”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.“

Marc later said his company rented at 747 cargo jet from San Bernardino Airport (known to many people here as the default airport in X-Plane) and one side of the 747 was painted like Air Force One for the video. When asked how much the stunt cost, Marc said: ”It’s not cheap, you have to be rich.“
