Tons of people there..there is RSB link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEyqNoUPCuY
Plenty of California folks trekked to Elko. All hotels in town are sold out for today Red Roof Inn used to have a massive gambling operation in its Elko hotels in partnership with Casino Airlines (Three B737-20o aircraft0 going in and out of Elko 24/7/365. Nice town!!!
First 5 minutes of early voting in Nevada are in the books. My little early voting location in the Vegas suburbs was packed! I proudly voted straight Republican ticket. God bless America.
It is only 9:00 am here. (I wish I had known Pres. Trump was going to be in Elko today, as I would have gone. But, alas, Elko is about 250 miles from here and I could not get there on time.)
I drove through Elko once about a quarter century ago. It wasn’t much more than a two-horse down back then. Plus it’s in the middle of nowhere. But it looks like the area has grown some.
“Elko is about 250 miles from here”
The RSBN chick said she’d met someone who’d driven 500 miles — from Oregon, I think. (Does Oregon + 500 miles make sense?)
Wonder why so early, his rallies usually are in evening
The trip makes sense to honor and hear a President who mostly in his own strength and grit turned an entire nation around.
Probably wants to get home early he has another rally in Texas on Monday!!! This POTUS is tireless I have NEVER seen anyone his age with the energy of a 20 year old it is AMAZING!!! He definitely has the hand of God on him!!!_4
He was in AZ last night so it makes sense he has a morning rally in NV before flying back to DC.
I saw Ospreys being used to bring in some of the security at Mesa last night, but I am not ready for a Whitetop Osprey.
He’ll probably come in on Marine One from Reno.
Had to look it up, shows 2 hour flight from Phoenix to Elko. Big plane landing on a small runway.
And our sustained prayers that are being answered in the present, but have their origin in the plan of God. God answers prayer. Mr. Trump is proof.
Had to look it up, runway length at Elko 7214 feet, nearly 1.35 miles
Just outside Elko are the Ruby Mountains. Beautiful.
“Had to look it up, runway length at Elko 7214 feet, nearly 1.35 miles”
According to my AF pilot buddy a loaded 747 would require 7000 feet to land and 8000 feet to take off. The Presidential 747 may have extra features that allow it to land and take off on a shorter airfield.
When candidate Trump came to Prescott Valley in 2016 Air Trump’s 757 could not land at the local airfield, runway length about 7400. They wound up taking smaller aircraft over.
“General question - Is AF1 landing at Elko. I see reports of 737s landing but they ain’t 747s. Otherwise, does Mr. Trump take Marine 1 from either Reno or SLC. Just curious.”
I was wondering that myself. You have Hill AFB in Utah. Fallon NAS in Sparks, Nevada. Then there is always Nellis
AFB outside of Vegas. Then we cannot for get Area 51 as a landing spot. An old airbase at Wendover. Outside of that I do not know. I do not know if the runway at Elko will support a 747.
