I was on the 15 near Miramar going south last August and heard on the radio that AirForce One was approaching. I looked to the left, and there it was over the hills just north of Tierra Santa coming in for a landing. What a sight that was!
I know the feeling you're having.
When President Bush visited San Diego earlier this year to declare the end of the heavy bombing in Iraq, I really hoped to see AF1, but I didn't get to see it.
Today, I didn't even know it was going to fly, so the sight was a very pleasant surprise.
I'm glad to join the "club" of people who've seen it. I can't wait for the Ronald Reagan Library to showcase the old Air Force One!
