When my husband got home from work, (central Ohio ) and after flights had been grounded, we went to the gas station to fill our cars. Many, many cars were waiting and it was so quiet, no one was talking, just waiting. Suddenly someone yelled, look up! We did and way, way up there was a plane and a jet stream and fighters escorting. It was AF1 and I will never forget that ever, I still get goosebumps.
They couldn’t keep up with AF1 and the fighters, though. The poor old E-3 is quite speed limited due to that big, rotating radome.
