Welcome aboard ‘Hil Force One’

Hillary Clinton, flight attendant? Not exactly, but the Democratic presidential hopeful did impersonate one briefly on Wednesday as her new campaign plane made its first voyage with journalists, staff and the candidate herself on board.

“Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and welcome aboard the maiden flight of Hil Force One” said Clinton, startling reporters on the flight from Las Vegas to Reno, Nevada. Air Force One is the name of the plane that carries the US President.

“My name is Hillary and I am so pleased to have most of you on board,” she said over the loud speaker, an oblique reference to her sometimes contentious relationship with the media.

Now, with the race for the Democratic nomination going nationwide, the campaign has put the full entourage on one aircraft.
