Hmmm, wonder if ABC ever looked on the side of the press plane? When the
prez travels, the White House books a plane for the press who are sent
ahead of AF-1. They have been known to get 757s from Phoenix Air with
N###PA tail numbers. The networks pay the bill but don't(didn't) choose
the plane. If there is a 'plot', it could be a good one. :)
