N1 lands in BED:

It's registered to the FAA, and painted like Airforce 1. Saw it land at
AVL awhile
back. Three guys got out and appeared to go to lunch. Left an hour or
so later.


Not really sure... I've seen it in Savannah a couple times at work, but
never had a chance to look inside.

Now wait a minute Peter... This scum, err person, is as innocent as a
little lamb until 12 citizens who are too slow to think up a convincing
lie to get out of jury duty pronounce him guilty as hell... At which
point he has rights, and besides it wasn't his fault, his mother
traumatized him during potty training...

Yeah, I saw it, too, but did you notice that landing lights was flashing
like a siren after touchdwon? I don't see any point for doing that. Is it
designed to chase someone in the air and force them to pull over???

These days law enforcement vehicles are wall to wall flashing lights so
traffic sees them to yield or idiot drivers don't run into them when
they are stopped by the side of the road. It might be as simple as if it
is good enough for an automobile, it is good enough for an airplane.

Or, maybe this is nothing more than one of those landing lights that
flashes during the day to make the aircraft easier to spot while in the
air. Many aircraft, from business jet down to Cessna single engines, are
equipped with these.

Toks didn't mention whether the landing light was left on for taxi all the
way to the ramp so therefore I suspect that this was the case.

Flashing landing lights is an anti-collision development.
The bulb is cycled from about 20-100% intensity. This
increases bulb life and the eye sees a flashing light better
than a steady light.
They have these on motorcycles too. They even have a unit
that will flash the brakelight when they are applied
steadily.

They probably cleared customs in Bangor.
************************************************** *****

Bob, this interested me enough to spend 45 minutes on the phone, with 7
different customs offices, finally ending up with a Mr. name withheld
by me for reasons below who explained the procedure...
Federal agencies reentering the country on official business,
especially with prisoners, normally have one or more of those federal
personnel being also a customs agent with the authority to interview
and clear people in and out of the country... So Entwhistle would have
been interviewed and cleared into the country while in the air... Same
for all persons aboard the aircraft... The plane hits the ground, the
prisoner is hustled to the car, and everyone scatters before the
prisoner can meet his just desserts...

I then asked about U.S. war ships, etc., entering and leaving the
country... Same deal, some officers aboard a military ship have customs
agent authority and all the paperwork is completed aboard the vessel
prior to exit or entry...

SCOOP for RAP members only:
He also mentioned that the planes moving prisoners to and from
Guantanamo have a federal agent on board with customs authority who
clears them in and out of the country without going through the customs
gates...
I strongly doubt he intended that for the 6 o'clock news, so I have
chosen to redact his name above... But, it's an interesting tidbit...

Foaming at the mouth media mongors need not call me as I won't discuss
it...

BTW, there is a customs and border agent on board Air Force One and he
interviews and clears everyone, including the President, in and out of
the country... At which point I regaled him with the story reported
here on rec.aviation of Vice President Dan Quail having to remove his
shoes and be patted down at the airport... He laughed, said he both
knows and likes Mr. Quail, but if he were the agent, 'it would have
been down to his skivvies!'

Famous, new saying, copyright to me:
"There is nothing more powerful than a little authority."

Remember that when you are dealing with the TSA agent at the airport,
who was a medicaid momma before she was given 3 weeks of classroom
training, a badge and the power to destroy your life......

Dan Quayle, quail are birds.

No way there is any customs agents of any kind on AF1 so they can clear
the President back into the country.

Here in Los Angles we had a police helo pull over a pp in the air and had him land to find out why he was flying like an idiot.
