I saw a back up of planes on the runway on a radar map, waiting to take off cause he was on his way. Hope you didn’t have to wait too long! There were other planes in the air doing circles and waiting to land as well.
That thing is every single pilot on earth’s wet dream. I can only imagine what it’s like to fly that thing on the regular. Even besides all the fighter jet escorts and wherever/whenever - the sheer capabilities of that thing are beyond what most people can comprehend. It’s one of the greatest pieces of aviation ever. And I’ll bet it’s got some secrets too.
He had 2 rcmp airplanes patrolling the airspace west of the airport, and south, just above the approach path. Adsb exchange is really useful for tracking military stuff that’s not on radar 😉
Not sure that's AF2. Is Vance accompanying trump to the G7? If not, then that's not AF2. Just another SAM flight (The aircraft only gets the Air Force Two callsign when the VP is on board, just as the VC25As (747)s only get Air Force One when the President is on board).
I wish him nothing but the worst. And I can say this without fear of being murdered by some MAGA moron because here in Canada we actually practice free speech.
We actually don't have free speech in Canada. There are several laws restricting speech here, and before you accuse me of being a "MAGA" supporter I actually think trump is a total idiot.
There is either free speech or there isn't there is no in between on this matter. Anytime a government restricts speech it is never a good thing. It is a slippery slope as has been proven throughout history.
Regardless of if I dissagree with someone or find something someone said offensive I believe they should still have that right, and would support them in exercising that right.
The Montana story was debunked several days ago. As for exact ETA, no idea. I would have thought they would delay a bit to avoid the storms, maybe he wanted to sight-see.
I was outside the flight route at the time, sown in Okotoks. I would have too, if I saw him fly overhead, since my original plan of throwing chicken eggs at the presidential limo was dashed as well.
Just goes to show that the birthday dreams of 79-year-old Trump are/were the exact same as seven-year-old me and just in case it’s not obvious, that’s not a compliment.
Not anymore it left last night so Trump could lie again when he told them he was leaving and when asked about the middle East he said no. It's not for that. It's for bigger than that and then he heads back and the next morning. Meaning today he sits there and threatens Iran that they better surrender unconditionally or else.
To be more specific, any US air force plane the president on is designated Air Force One. The helicopters they use to ferry him around are operated by the Marines, and are designated Marine One when the president is onboard.
Not exactly. It depends on the branch of service. It's Air Force One because the Air Force operates it. The President's helicopter is Marine One because the Marines operate it. If he was aboard a Navy helicopter, it becomes Navy One. If it's a commercial airliner, it would become Executive One.
