I can't believe the PIC (pilot in command) of AF1 would knowingly land on a runway that was not rated to support the landing weight of his aircraft. That makes no sense at all!

Good thing it wasn't SUV One; it would've run over someone to boot.

Impeach Bush! Or better yet, impeach the idiot who had Air Force One land on a runway it was not rated for.

This makes no sense. Canberra is the national capital of Australia. The Queen lands there; heads of government land there. This is not a back-water town.

Bush, Rove and Cheney manipulate the laws of physics to suit their nefarious agenda. Make 'em all pay for that runway!/s

"Other military and VIP planes had also damaged the runway"

Sounds like an inadequate runway for a lot more than just AF1. Either build it to proper specs for the heaviest planes or else place load restrictions on its use. Geesh, it should not be "rocket science".........

He should have shed weight before landing AF One. By tossing the press corp out the door at 10,000 feet.

Air Force One weighs surely a lot less than a standard loaded out 747. I could be wrong, but AF1 hardly totes along 450 passengers and their luggage plus food and drink for all of them and and and.

The 747 is an old airframe in near global use.

So if the runway was damaged in Canberra, what are they saying? They can't build a runway right? If this were some new plane, with massive weight and distributing this mass strangely I could see this happening; but a lighter than normal 747? That's like saying my Jeep (standard tires, weight, and driving) damaged the road in Plano TX. That road should hold my Jeep without issue.

Of course they may be talking about ramp space (A more common occurrence that really does happen). But then again this is normally caused by trying to pack in more planes than what the pad can sustain. Is that the planes fault? No. That's a ramp that is inadequate for the demands in aircraft parked on it. Insufficient ramp space and too many aircraft upon it can damage it.

Yeh. Not only that, but the wake turbulence caused a typhoon to build up and devastate the Asian coastlines, and the shock of landing caused an earthquake that resulted in an enormous tsunami. I'm pretty sure that Bush is causing sunspots too but I can't pin it on him...yet.

US President George W Bush's Air Force One aircraft....

Well, you got the title correct but these dingos wont hunt. Its the tax payers plane. We caught you thinking like Hitlery, didnt we.

Other military and VIP planes had also damaged the runway but....

Fix your own sh!t first. And dont let the United States find out that you knowingly put our Commander-in-Chief in danger again.

If they left the MSM jerks that deadhead a ride on AF1 there would be a lot less weight to haul. All that walking bovine excrement would leave the aircraft a LOT lighter.
