I promise, promise, promise there is no political agenda here. I just
think
this is a great photo. Don't know how far the runway is from the stands,
but
the illusion is that the wings are practically over the race crowd.

The picture looks foreshortened, I guess due to a zoom lens, making it look
close to the crowd. While it is close, it's not *that* close!

What I thought was really impressive was when AF-1 circled the track at a
low altitude. I believe that may have been the first time I've ever seen a
747 do that. That thing is BIG. Gave me chills and made me strangely nervous
at the same time.
