When Bush 43 paid a visit here the Coast Guard had a Dolphin flying
sniper support for the motorcade. They made several passes over my
house since I live close to the airport (KATW). The sniper was hanging
out the door with his big rifle. During the motorcade through town,
several workers at a local paper company were standing on the roof of
their building...the helo over a loudspeaker told them to get inside
or they would be shot...the Secret Service entered the building within
seconds of the warning to investigate. There were some scared and
embarrassed workers.

I learned to fly at Scott AFB (KBLV), "check wheels down" was standard
in the clearance to land statement. More airports need to do the same,
several unintentional wheels up landings could have been prevented. I
always responded "down and welded" sputtering along in my C-172.
