So they flew the helicopter to Iowa so the President could take it from the Cedar Rapids airport to Kirkwood Community College????

That's a lot of logistics to avoid a 15 mile drive through open countryside!!

I'm very upset that I'm here in Cedar Rapids and didn't get to see the twins. Well, I'll be sure to watch the news tonight.

No, they flew Marine One from the White House to Andrews. This is standard procedure.

Actually that is about a 4 mile drive. There is no way the would take the helicoptor.

It is my understanding that a C-141 transports the President's motorcade to every stop.

Surely Marine One would fit in there also.
