You all may share the skies with the president when you come Thursday. Shouldn't affect your travels, he's got Air Force bases to land at both places here, and shouldn't be on the freeway.

Bush to visit Fort Lewis, Spokane next week ^

Well, it could... my friend (and recruiter) told me that when he was on his way home from his honeymoon a couple of months ago, on the last leg of the trip flying from Dallas to Austin, the captain came on the intercom to say that Air Force One was taking off from Waco (which is between Dallas and Austin) and their plane was going to have to clear the route. They had to fly out towards Amarillo (in the panhandle) for a while so that they wouldn't be in the same air corridor as AF1. Once AF1 had passed them they were able to turn back towards Austin.
