POTUS also takes Air Force One to every rally. I think we should be on alert then too.
Agreed.
The drop also says “abroad”.
Any plane POTUS is in, is AF1.
Q+ isn’t the only POTUS to sneak OFFCONUS for clandestine visits to troops, etc.
Remember that the fighter that Bush43 flew in and landed on the carrier (”Mission Accomplished”) was designated AF1 until he got out.
I wonder what happened to that bird?
Was it put back in rotation aboard-ship?
What is your speculation, Chef?
The India trip fits better. AF1 will be in the air for a longer period of time. The rallys do not concume as much time and he us usually hopping. Longest trip for Rally would be Cali and that is only a few hours.
