Guess who's coming to town?

C5A Galaxy? They had one of these open to the public at an airshow I went
to once. It was a horrible rainy day so about a hundred thousand people
sheltered under the wings and about another half million inside. Awesome
machine.

When I worked for Lockheed, overlooking Moffett Field, we could always
tell when the President was coming to town.

Usually, a C-5 or two C-141s would land two days before and disgorge
limosines (Usually SUVs), helos, security teams, etc.

Once, both Clinton and Gore, along with the Russian VP came in, so there
was a separate advance effort for each.

Just think about the costs whenever the President goes traveling!
