Now He Wants A Plane To Match

sarko aviator2.jpg

Nick Sarkozy may be vertically challenged, but when he takes off he wants to do it en grandeur. And with his current fleet of four Falcon 50s, two Falcon 900s, two Airbus A 319 CJs, seven TBM 700s and three Super Puma helicopters that’s impossible. Especially the old Airbuses are too small, they don’t fly far enough without refueling, and — most importantly — they’re not equipped to carry a VIP.

Now, the presidential travel agency is planning to buy an Airbus A330-200 from Air Caraïbes. It’s second-hand, but a lot bigger than the existing planes. All it takes is to refurbish it a bit so it can handle a president with six brains, who likes to sleep in his own bed.

The only question that remains is how to call this plane.

How about Air Farce One?

This is a day after the sent letters (with stamps, no less - not emails) to everyone in the French Military that he was cutting their equipment? Oye!

Maybe he needs a bigger plane for all the women he’s slept with and promoted. (By 2017, France will be a Matriarchy [& Sarko, of course]: All women ministers, all women media, all women football…)
