I was just leaving LGA and saw Port Police blocking off the roads as a VIP came in. Short motorcade, but one of the SUVs had the back window open with an armed gentleman keeping watch....so the VIP must have been somewhat important.
Gen Av parking looked pretty full, but nothing really stood out.
Anyone know?

this happened around noon?Originally Posted by Phil D.
Yep, little a couple minutes after. I got out of class at 12 on the dot and left the MAT area immediately, where I saw the 'cade.

I love those guys. It always invigorates your day to be waiting to cross a street in Manhattan while a VIP motorcade goes by and seeing an angry looking guy peeking out a rear passenger window pointing an M16 at you.
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
C-9A was parked on the E ramp when i pulled into the lot, PAPD was just starting to pop up at all the intersections when i was driving in for a 1200 meeting. this happened around 1140 or so.
it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
Wow, I missed a C-9?
After I saw the motorcade, I gassed up ($1.99!) on Astoria Blvd for about 5 minutes before driving back towards the GCP. I guess the C-9 was gone already.

she wasn't visible from where you were phil. she was parked behind the employee parking lot on the "E" ramp, the same one where kids day has been held in recent years. i have no idea what time she departed though. i stopped in the office for about 15 min before heading downstairs and didn't see her moving yet. my guess is she left sometime after 1215.

Mmmm, I've seen numerous motorcades over the years and never have seen angry guys pointing weapons at people.I love those guys.

Intense looking agents without a doubt since that is their job. And I believe the M-16 isnt the heavy weapon of choice
of the USSS.
From my own encounter, he didn't look angry and I could not see his weapon...although I know what his job is. My guess would be that he had a G36. or M4. I assume they would need something with decent power and accurate at medium range.

Phil do ya think ya got a little too close? LOL!! I wouldnt mess with those guys. In fact in the middle pic it looks like they are eye-balling you big time.
M4 yes. ACOG no. that looks more like an Aimpoint sight:

what i don't get is why he has an infrared illuminator on it...

I didn't take those. I found them on the internet. I don't know how well he'd have taken my aiming a canon at him. ;)
Good call on the aimpoint. I admit I am not too familiar with optics and scopes.M4 yes. ACOG no. that looks more like an Aimpoint sight:

it's a good thing you didn't. in that second shot the photographer had been spotted. the rear-facing agent was already cocking his rifle while the two in the back seat are looking back to identify the threat.
on a side note i was wrong, it's not a infrared but a laser aiming device attached to the barrel.
