    Not Your Average Visitor + Pics

    Ok so maybe not technically a visitor in a sense that it landed, but today I was sitting at home in my living room pretty mad that I was missing some good DAB traffic this weekend when it suddenly became ok. Normally the European flights fly over my house at night leaving their contrails and what not. This evening I noticed a contrail flying unlike (meaning not the direction they usually do) all the others so I decided to take a picture and I'm damn glad I did...





    I had to zoom in quite a bit, but its obvious its Air Force One. I'm not sure if its actually "Air Force One," but there is the chance that it is!!

    Enjoy!

    Nice catch! GWB left DC today for a week-long visit to Africa, so it is quite likely this was "Air Force 1".

    What time was this? I was on the LIRR heading home and I saw this jet with huge contrails heading out high EB. This was around 5PM. I was even thinking to myself that might be an AF jet of some sort.

    I am sure the SS is knocking on Matts door in the next 24 hours. I think I see the helicopter circleing Phil's house at the moment too. ;)

    Matt,
    Ignore that van with the blacked out windows sitting in front of your house. :shock:

    What if these photos fall into the wrong hands? THE EVILDOERS MUST NOT KNOW THE FORM OF OUR COMMANDER'S FLYING MACHINE!

    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.
