Well...since the Carter administration anyway.

That's pretty cool to see.


I had a vehicle convoy pass me the other day with a heavy police escort blocking traffic for free passage of a military van and a couple Suburbans filled with men in suits (presumably Secret Service). I later learned Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was in town. I didn't have my camera nor would any pictures been noteworthy. He was in a van similar to a delivery service van with windows. Pretty low key and boring for such an obvious procession going down the road.

banman1....very cool to get to see it and good pics.


Although I first looked at this on my phone, when I got home I was less impressed with the pictures. See there are several of these planes. Even when they travel they go with decoys. I thought it was two different planes. On my phone the resolution was not such that you could tell they were two different pictures. I was asking myself why would the one be flying so close over the one taking off.......


Sean and Keith: If Carter added peanuts, I wonder what Clinton added (and would it be appropriate for a family forum)

[Sean Setters]

Clinton added a smoking section...and that

[HDNitehawk]

Clinton added a smoking section...and that's probably enough of that. :-)

I agree...I don't think we need to elaborate more.....[6]

Wow, what a sight!


HDNitehawk, I though the same - I thought this was a composite of two seperate shots (or the Air Force One pilots were just performing stunts today? []).


Cool shots.

well for arround 1-1/2 this plane and a smaller white jet just keep doing touch n goes at dover... i found out later that obama was in philly today so i gues this probally was one of the decoys...allthough when i first set up to take picts 4 state cops and a black unmarked went by me lol... i was texting my wife at same time and told her i might need bail for me and my 3 year old..we then drove up closer to the runway only to see the cop cars parked in the field across from runway with 4 bomb sniffin dogs all walkin in field and 2 guys with binoculars looking allover there were also some military cops driveing arround and walkin the inside of runway fence...once airforce 1 left all the cops left to and it was back to business as usuall at dafb...so anyway it was still cool to see one of the jets and i wonder if they still have good penuts lol........
