Default Bush's Trip: 747 or C-17 Which would you Choose?

Your in charge of flying the president to Baghdad

Your choices are a 747 or a C-17. The G5 is out since you have to make a
refueling stop which could blow security. Clinton flew to Kosovo in a C-17

Which do you choose and why.

Points to ponder.

The C-17 will require several aerial refuelings. AF1 may or may not need to
refuel in the air. The more tanker crews the more people who know the
president is going somewhere.

AF1 is a giant Billboard on the ground saying GWB is here. The C-17 is much
more discreet
