Air Force Two was involved in an accident at Gabreski Airport (FOK) on Long Island this morning.
Vice President Joe Biden was on board, but was not injured.
News 12 reports that while Air Force Two was taking off this morning, the jetblast from the plane, a Boeing C-32A, flipped a Piper Cub parked on the airfield, causing damage to the Piper.
Air Force Two was not damaged. The Piper Cub was empty and no one on the ground was injured.
At least they have the correct airport code for this incident; FOK..
I’m happy the VP is ok but what about the pilot of the small plane he wrecked?
HILLARY!
Let me guess! They let him steer the airplane???
Oh, never mind. Didn’t read again.
How’s my flying? Call 1-800-HIL-LARY...
Flipping a cub to its demise is so metaphoric for what this regime is doing to General Aviation.
Bet the guy who owns that Piper Cub thinks it’s a “big effing deal.” The repair bill ain’t gonna be cheap.
Come on people, the obvious joke of the day must be something about Biden and Hot Air.
No fart jokes please.
Is meeting with bambi today.
Get out of my way!
This whole administration just screams incompetence.
Does Nancy travel on air Force three? Just curious.
How exactly does one comply with aircraft safety regulations regarding proper use of a seatbelt with their head up their a$$?
He thought Lindsay Grahmnasty was on the piper and he was attempting to not just “FLIP” the young cub.....he was attempting what is known as a “SPECTER FLIP”
good for Joe. God knows we need his gafes every now and then.
If I was Biden I would be a little concerned about the fact that someone keeps assigning bad drivers, and now pilots, to his details.
