This is has been a wonderful day! Just got off the phone with my daughter who is part of the S-3 squadrons on North Island. She said that AF One is parked right next to their Hangar for VS-41 and that the Executive Officer for VS-35 next door to them was the pilot of the President. He had been aboard the Lincoln the whole time -- flew off the plane, had it checked over on North Island and flew the President back and is now back at North Island.

Fox had a little video of the pilot who flew the Pres out.
Capt. Lussier said that as soon as they got up, he asked the Pres if he wanted to take over, and he said Sure!
He flew a little while, and flew in formation with the other plane going out with them, then Lussier took over again.
Also he was asked how it was for GW when they landed, but Lussier said he was a little busy and didn't get to watch GW's reaction while landing. But said he heard no complaints!

"Just got off the phone with my daughter who is part of the S-3 squadrons on North Island."
How wonderful to get an 'insider' report about this great event from your own child! I didn't realize you had family that was currently in the military.
Thanks to you and your daughter for her service.
