Two loads of crap!!!!
There will be more than two planes. Two accompany the president at all times. How can so many people be enamoured of this pair.....so many “but that’s differents.”
..which one was Valerie Jarrett on?
You can take these two out of the welfare district, but you can't take the welfare district out of these two.
Welfare breeds Welfare. They're used to getting a free ride with everybody elses money. That's all they know how to do.
“liberals are spewing all over the planet.”
I believe zero as global warming and flying impact is a hoax.
However, it does seem silly to spend this much money on getting the Olympics. If I understand the history, only the Olympics in Los Angeles, CA has ever made money.
All the rest are money losing.
The “Air Force Two” designation is for any fixed wing aircraft carrying the Vice President of the United States. Just as “Air Force One” is an fixed wing aircraft with the current Pres__ent (or President if we have one) on board.
The plane that typically carries the Pres__ent is a VC25. Though he has used other planes as well. I think for the New York “date night” excursion they flew up in a C-37B. For that trip, the C-37B was “Air Force One.”
I can’t get to a TV right now. Did the First Lady fly over in another VC25? Or did they send the VC25 that was Air Force One back to pick her up? Either way, this sounds like a huge waste of taxpayer dollars. I don’t begrudge the first family from getting together, and if schedules required separate trips, that’s OK. But a C-37B would have been a better choice for shuttling the first lady over to catch up with Pres__ent Obama.

Air Force Two “Heavy” -
Looks like Uncle Joe was once again left alone in the attic to fend for himself.
As with healthcare, the elites will never conduct their own lives the way they insist we do.
Sure didn’t take them long to get used to the perks of the Office, did it?
The wookie does look like shes gaining weight. I’m surprised she didn’t need a C47.
The American tax layers need to be reimbursed by the City of
Chicago for all of their travel expenses! RNC where are you?!
The list, ping
"The cost of Obama’s trip will not be close to $1 mil. It is well over $10 mil if it is a dime. The figures you quoted (accurately) are for flying a VC-25 (Presidential 747). Presidential trips require both 747s, as one is a backup. However, the costs soar when you realize that from the moment a POTUS indicates he wants to go somewhere, dozens, if not hundreds of people start preparing every detail.
These details include security, communications, protocol, logistics that boggle the mind and transportation that most people never see. Several Air Force cargo planes of equipment are loaded and flown to the destination with armored limos, security personnel from the Secret Service and the relevant military branches, fuels specialists, etc. A National Airborne Operations Command Post 747 from Offutt AFB, NE will accompany him to keep POTUS in constant communications in case of national or word emergency.
We are now up to three 747s, multiple cargo planes and costs for personnel who fly commercial ahead of POTUS. If FLOTUS flies separately, add a C-32 (757) for her and her staff, entourage, hangers-on etc, with attendant security, logistics, etc. Add a few more million dollars, though many personnel in Denmark will cover preparations for both POTUS and FLOTUS."
Hardly just two planes. Whenever the President travels there is a fleet of cargo planes bringing the Presidential limo, security vehicles, communications gear, food etc.
Isn’t Michelle an intellectual like her husband? After all, didn’t they both get their JD’s from Harvard. I suppose we should be impressed but I’m not. They are the first affirmative action President and First Lady. If Obozo had been 100% white he would never have even been considered.
