Air Force One in Copenhagen
A few minutes ago I took this picture of Air Force One. President Obama has not yet got out of the plane, I can see on tv.
Not very much to do with kilts – anyhow I was kilted when taking the picture from the road outside our house.

It appears that you live very close to the airport. Isn't that a bit noisy?
BTW say hi to Obama from me whene you see him.......

Coincidentally I just finished watching a documentary about Air Force One. Clinton was talking about how being on it is a really nice break when your the President.

Hello GG, what a great shot of Air Force One, never seen it close up before.
I wonder if our very own kilted pilot, Alex could fly this Aircraft.

I seem to remember that Air Force One is actually two planes!

Air Force One is whatever USAF aircraft the President is aboard. The term is actually the air traffic control call sign. When POTUS is not aboard, it is Special Air Mission (SAM).

There are two planes that can be Air Force One but only the plane he is one is actually called that.

Air Force One is only Air Force One when the president is on it. There are two plans that might carry that designation. I've seen both of those plans, one at a time, parked at Travis AFB in the 1990s.

No, actually not. We're living some 40 kilometers north of the airport, having Copenhagen between it and us, and the picture is taken 8 minutes prior to landing, but AF1 was flying at a rather low height and - a 300 mm telephoto lens was helpful, too as well as a little bit cropping in Photoshop.
(All other air traffic had been suspended at that time)
