Air Force One at Daytona

I promise, promise, promise there is no political agenda here. I just think
this is a great photo. Don't know how far the runway is from the stands, but
the illusion is that the wings are practically over the race crowd.

If you look over the backside of the Daytona "Superstretch" Grandstands, you
are looking right down on the airport.

There is some telephoto compression in that photo but not a lot!

I believe that does not apply to U.S. military aircraft.

A diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that
you look forward to the trip.

That is not the case. When we fly army helicopters we have to abide by all
those TFRs aswell

There should have been a presidential TFR in addition to the standard "crowd
/ event" TFR.. guess which takes priority..

If the airport is that close to the race track, then I'm sure everyone had
to be on a clearance and in ATC contact to land there during the race.

Glad our local NASCAR track is far from the local airports, but the local AF
Base is within the standard "crowd / event" TFR radius, and I'm sure they
don't stand down on race week.

Absolutely. In my opinion, the president should be kept as far away from any
other human being as possible at all times. Can't tell who might be a terrorist.
They have that moon base up and running yet?
