Senator Barack Obama has upgraded aircraft several times as his campaign for President has gathered steam. Obama has flown on a hodgepodge of planes through the grueling primary and into this summer’s general election cycle, from chartered Gulfstreams to Boeing 737s and McDonnell Douglas MD-80s. The Illinois Senator has had his share of bad luck in the air and on the tarmac. A plane Obama was riding in clipped the wing of another aircraft on the ground and earlier this month his plane was forced into an unscheduled landing due to an overactive evacuation slide. Now, as he pulls in more campaign donations than ever, he apparently has decided to put last month’s $52 million to good use on a proper jet.

No mere medium-sized charter jet, the Obama campaign rolled out a custom-painted Boeing 757 on Sunday, ready to catch up with the presumptive Democratic nominee who had already embarked on a tour of the Middle East and Europe. Adorned with his “sunrise” logo on the tail and “Change We Can Believe In” across both sides, the 757 has the first class section organized expressly for the candidate and his campaign staff, while the coach section is set up to seat 41 members of the press corps.

No word on how long the campaign has reserved the expensive 757 charter, but with just a few months left until the election, it’s a safe bet that he’ll have it until he either claims Air Force One or catches a one-way flight back to Chicago.
