Default Plosi One

In a previous article, "gatt" said:
Maybe it's 'cause they don't want too much attention drawn to Cheney's C-17,
(anybody here in Jackson Hole to confirm this? A woman at the FBO said
whenever he comes home, a C-17 shows up with security and all and
monkeywrenches all of the GA operations there.)


Apropos of nothing, several years ago a C-130 crashed departing Jackson
Hole with some sort of security detail because they didn't follow the
published departure. I can't remember if it was Cheney or Clinton's. I
wonder if they went to the C-17 for the higher capacity, or because it
climbs better.
