    Presidential Vacation on Marthas Vineyard

    So President Obama is vacationing on Marthas Vineyard.
    How did he get there?
    AF1 to Logan then Marine 1 to MVY?
    Or using one of the smaller jets direct to MVY like a Gulfstream or a B737.

    He flew on the VC-25 into Coast Guard Station Cape Cod (formerly Otis AFB) and helicoptered to Martha's Vineyard. Photos of his arrival from the local media here

    flew the whitehawk... interesting.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Michelle arrived a few hours earlier on the GV.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Thanks Moose and all and it is interesting he used the VH-60!! Usually that is reserved for overseas missions.
