Whats the question.....?

Glen.....those those VH-60N shots are excellent.....im gonna need to buy an 8x12 from you , im serious.

Better having you guys out there taking risks......with the feds.

Lol. To be honest I think chili got nailed cause they were getting plans in order and probably wanted to make sure he wasnt scouting them out. Bad timing. All the important stuff comes in those two 17s, including all the secret service & their equipment. Great story tho! One for the grandkids! lol

I heard on ABC Ch-7 he departs at 6pm today.  Any takers?  Look like there was a huge crowd at the airport yesterday taking pictures and looking.  I agree with Josh, day of no issues, days before and seeing the set up...issue.   Live and learn.....

Too dark out by then for me. Not worth the time off.

After hearing how open it was at Long Beach yesterday I was considering it...but ...I think I'll take what I got yesterday and call it a day. I'm sure Obama will be back to the Southland sometime over the next 4 years.

Hurry less than 30 mins if he is on time.  If early then........

BTW-There is a a.ppt making the rounds of the C-17 offloading those choppers.  The guy (presumably Boeing) was right there beside the aircraft taking the photos.

Great shots of AF-1, Chili. How far away were you and what lens were you using?

I assume that is a South takeoff, right?

That's what I've always seen done with the AN-124s before.

Lets hope they use LGB in the future instead of LAX.

Why don`t they use Los Alamitos ? Seems more secure.
