Imagine trying to cram the
Secret Service detail, "the football," and everything else that goes with
President aboard a typical GA plane.


How did they manage when Bush flew out to Lincoln? There was no Secret
Service detail in the S-3B.

I recall there was one in the plane and a few more in the other plane in the
flight of two.

Yes, agreed. Get the "beady-eyed moron" out. And get this country
back to the great country it was before he and his paranoid pals
took over. Open up the airspace again!

Would they let him fly or would the TFR's keep him grounded?

I highly recommend Forte Agent as a newsreader. It handles newsgroup
messages far better than any "included" newsreader such as those
bundled with Internet Explorer, Outlook, Netscape, or Opera--all of
which I have tried.

Download the software at www.forteinc.com/agent/download.php

The program includes the latest version of Agent as well as its
freeware version, called Free Agent. This enables you to get the feel
of the software without paying up front.

However, where Agent really shines is in its ability to filter out
objectional subjects or posters: Control+K and you're done! It was to
get that functionality that I upgraded to the paid version a year ago,
and I have never regretted it. The cost to register the software (and
thereby to unlock the full-featured version on your computer) is $29.

(A major revison is in the works. However, if you register the current
version, the upgrade will be free.)



When are they going to come out with a version that stops people
from posting spam/advertisements on news groups?

Probably, but it does raise the question why the CIC requires a civilian
security detail when totally sorrounded by several thousand of his military
who have taken an oath to protect and serve, and to die following orders if
necessary - including those authorized to arm and launch tactical nukes - A
civilian is likely to be more loyal that that?

You've got to understand that the SS considers it somewhat more than just
thier job to protect the POTUS it is bordering on religion. I'm surprised
that they let the FLOTUS be alone with him.

I don't think so. The mail I get from the Democratic party pretty much
states
that they don't think Bush has restricted us enough. They propose that

"stricter
security measures" are necessary.


Hey, we're on the same mailing list!

I agree -- it appears from these mailings that the Democratic party would
pretty much padlock our airport.

Of course, this would make way for more "affordable" housing -- something we
desperately need... Who needs those playgrounds for the rich, anyway?

I'm not stealing anything. I'm merely using their server as a

Actually, the trend here is towards more strip malls. The local governments have
come to the belated conclusion that the cost of enlarging the school system to
handle the kids in those new houses is greater than the taxes on them. Moreover,
parking lots need to be flat.

It might not be technically proper, but they probably would call it "Air
Force One" out of habit.


C'mon CJ, I would expect a world famous flight instructor like yourself would
know this one, as I'm pretty sure it's in the AIM.

AF- "Air Force One"
USMC (from the White House Lawn)- "Marine One"
Navy "Navy One"
Army (has this one ever been used?)- "Army One"
and
Civil- "Executive One" (has a sitting president EVER flown in a civilian
aircraft since this nomeclature has been used?)
