AF1 range/route/refueling?
Turkey Dinner Tour
Now, http://gc.kls2.com/ says the Great Circle distance KADW-BGW is 6200m, and AF1 has a published range of ~~7300 miles. But Great Circle would have taken them across multiple countries, including those evil fried potato folks; so I'd assume they did not use that route. I'd also assume they would never get near trouble without large reserves. Was there an unannounced refueling stop? I know the 747B's have capability for in-flight refueling but doubt they would do that. -- A host is a host from coast to & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433 |
