Obamas Will Take Last Flight on Air Force One After Trump Inauguration
Breitbart ^ | January 9, 2017 | Charlie Spiering

The soon-to-be former President Obama will take his last flight on Air Force One after the soon-to-be President Donald Trump takes office, the White House confirmed.

Citing tradition, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest confirmed that President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama would be leaving Washington D.C. on Air Force one after Donald Trump’s inauguration.

The pair will leave the White House for the last time aboard Marine One before Air Force One takes them someplace warm, according to their plans.

Obama has referred to his post-inauguration plans for years.

“I know what I’ll do right after the next president is inaugurated: I’ll be on a beach somewhere drinking out of a coconut,” he said in 2014, during an interview with Tumblr.

Every former President gets this. It is not new for Obama.

Yes it is standard. But the planes call sign will not be AF1. In this case it will be DB1 for “Douche Bag one”

I bet that plane smells like a city bus.

AF 1 is for the POTUS. After the Inaug, Obama is no longer POTUS, right?

I agree. Uber his nasty self home.

Yeah - I was wondering about that too. He JUST HAD a two-week mid-winter vacation in front of his fawning media suck-ups in Hawaii! Now, why is he (and Michelle, and the girls, and the dogs) going to go in front of the cameras moments after Trump is sworn in?

Oh wait. I said camera and Air Force 1 and Obama in the same sentence.

After the inauguration?
We citizens have as much right to fly AF1 as he does. Oh wait, Mr. phony BC has no rights.

Harry Truman had to drive himself back to Missouri after Ike was inaugurated.

With any luck AF1 is taking him to his true home (Kenya).

True. It’s seen as a sign of respect from the new President to the outgoing. If Obama had any class at all, he’d demur and take a limo ride to his new home.

But no, not this guy.

Somehow, Roy Clark’s “Thank God and Greyhound You’re Gone” comes to mind.

The plane will no longer be “Air Force One” because the president isn’t on board.

I could put Trump on a Cessna, and that Cessna becomes “Air Force One”

Besides, I would rather push the controls forward and put on a parachute than face the post-obama cleaning bill.

Well, if this is standard practice, fine.

Didn’t know that. Thanks!

Why are taxpayers paying for AF1 WHEN HE IS NO LONGER POTUS???

Gotta bilk the taxpayers one last time.

He should take his own plane to his warm environs!

Exactly. If the President isn’t with you, you ain’t on Air Force One.

Perhaps Trump will choose to be a good sport and see to it that it’s fully fueled.
