With 40 Reporters Onboard, Hillary Clinton Flies On Campaign Plane

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton today flew for the first time this election cycle on a campaign plane that has press accommodations, for addressing rallies in some of the key battleground states, amid criticism that she is avoiding the media.
"I am so happy to have all of you with me," 68-year-old Ms Clinton, who has not held a full-fledged press conference in 275 days, told reporters upon boarding the plane christened "Hillary Force One".
While a batter of press reporters have been following her for nearly year and a half, this was for the first time that she was traveling in the same plane as that with reporters.
Some 40 reporters from both print and electronic medium were given space in this plane by the Clinton Campaign.
"I was just waiting for this moment," Ms Clinton told reporters as she walked down to the back of the plane - a Boeing 737 - which was painted with her campaign slogan "Stronger Together".
The same number of journalist would be travelling with her till the election day on November 8.
"I'm thrilled," she said, holding a rolled up sheaf of papers in her hand
