That is a true statement. It is only Marine One of Air Force One when he is on board. I know that Air Force One is SAM 28000 or SAM 29000 depending on which 747 he is on but the helicopter I don't know the call sign.

Very sweet indeed!
The president flew to Crawford in Marine One and George and Barbara rode in the suburban to another plane and flew to Houston.

Although if you think about it, I'm sure there is quite a few support staff/ secret service personnel that come along. I doubt it was just the 4 Bushs, but I could be wrong.

Red star huh???? Comrad.....


Ya, I think the future could look at W differently. I remember Carter and how big of a joke he was when he was in office but the media is certainly ignoring the economic, hostage and energy crisis that happened on his watch as the Dems reconstruct his image.

I was there in support of the aircraft. We tow it, service it, and help the secret service with all the prep. I did not get to meet Bush Sr. but it was a good enough treat just to see him in person!
