The President is Coming.
The metro Phoenix area is going to see a fly over by Air Force One, all of it’s own tomorrow (Wednesday evening). President Obama is to give the commencement speech at ASU in Tempe.
The Local media has been reporting this story ever day for at least the past two weeks. The reports make the listener, viewer, think that it’s happening that very moment. Not that it’s going to be happening tomorrow night.
Last Friday we were told on the 10 O’clock News that a support plane had been parked at Sky Harbor. It brings the limo and other vehicles that make up the motorcade when the President travels on the ground. I wonder if they just might be several of these planes that are sent days before the President goes a calling.
As to what is going to happen. Very quickly, AF-One will touch down @ 5:15 PM, a motorcade will take the President to the ASU Stadium in time for his speech at @ 8:00 PM, then he will be whisk back to AF-One, at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, and by@ 9:30 PM, AF-One will take off. During the time AF-One is on the ground and I believe an hour before and an hour after, Air traffic in the Phoenix area will be limited. Oh yes, the same is true of traffic on the ground, roads in and around the stadium will be closed to normal traffic.
I plan to stay home, so I should not be effected. However we can see AF-One land, if it comes in from the East. And if it takes off to the East, we will see it again.
I have asked that a Pest Company be here in the morning, to fumigate the outside of our house.
Can’t be too careful being that close to such a vermin.
