Here is some info from someone that actually does the job and people who know what the fuck they are talking about.
"I was stationed at Bolling for four years in a Presidential Support special duty assignment. My former boss was the Chief Steward on AF2, and several of my friends have been assigned to the 89th in various enlisted capacities. I've also been in that hangar for picture taking purposes, and the occasional ceremony.
Disclaimer or not, I can tell you there is no way you can get into that complex covertly without being killed in a violent fashion. Trust me on this one. No "freeze!". No "put your hands in the air!" Dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead!
Now, as to the footage they appear to have taken of the airplane, which with the exception of the spray paint part does look genuine, I would imagine they'll be receiving a visit from the FBI shortly along with a warrant. Enjoy the interrogation process, idiot."
"The part of the tape purporting to show them near the airplane is demonstrably false. (Beyond the above mentioned unlikelihood of their survival in the kill zone between those fences.) the close in footage depicts an airplane NOT well lit. Compare the footage taken from several thousand feet away, (Real) to the footage of them running under the wing. Notice how the engine cowling close up is not lit at all, vs the earlier establishing shot? Also notice the lack of ISDS rearward facing IR antenae/fairing pods on the top trailing edge of the engine mount. The paint scheme currently in use on the VC-25's features the US of A titles extending well past the rear of the wing/fuselage fairing. Most of the word "America" should be view on the white portion of the fuselage in this same shot.
Also, why is the footage in black and white? Because the stand-in aircraft they were using at Victorville or Mojave had a similar cheat line, but not the right colors to withstand scrutiny."
