Air Force One - Gemini Jets and the real thing

Postby dasimperator » Sat Jan 22, 2011 5:29 am

The first Gemini Jets model I ever bought was this VC-137 better known as Air Force One...



I'd bought that a decade ago - the JFK limo I'd bought 2 or 3 years ago. Earlier this afternoon got a chance to see the modern version...



The president was in town and local TV was all over it...



After taking a few pix of the TV coverage I went outside to have a squint of the real thing flying overhead. They were good enough to use the northbound runway so they'd have to circle around for the trip back to DC.

That would've been his trip to Schenectady NY for the speech at General Electric.
