On the other hand, CNN today showed video of the President leaving an
aircraft (apparently a VC-20) and said he had landed at NAS Pensacola.

The field is open for emergencies. A visit from the president would
certainly qualify.

I was capering about on Saturday: I had reserved the Cub for Sunday
afternoon, then came the TFRs on the president's visit to ME and NH,
then came the hurricane damage and an urgent need for the president to
inspect the damage (it's an ill wind that blows nobody good) and the
Cub could fly again! But on Sunday afternoon the wind here was gusting
25 knots, so I didn't get to fly after all. (Now Bush is back in NH
today! Ah well. There is no rest for the wear in the swing states.)
