Don't they also get two fighters for protection during all flights as well. I would assume this would go for AF1 and the bitches plane as well being the "first bitch" and all...lets also calculate that the second plane was overloaded by about 300 pounds....Oprah been hitting the midnight snacks again.

In fact if the VC-25 wasn't that light it's maneuverability would be seriously impaired.

you dont know anything about aviation do you? with all the extra shit the VC--25 has it's only actually 1 ton heavier then a normal 747-200. A fully packed 747 (500 people, food, water, bagage, cargo, freight, full gas ect...) will be fuck load more then the VC-25.

747-200 empty weight: 383,000 lb
747-VC25A - 526,500 lb
Difference of - 143,500 lb
Or a little over 64 tons.

not saying he is including all this "two fighter jets, five helicopters, six limos, time on the ground and taxing" blah blah, but as far as just flying cost goes, i'm listening to him

You are comparing the empty weight of a 747-200 to the max zero fuel weight of the ac-25.
Empty weight =\= ZFW
