Ride report, Air Force One Pics

[Robert]

I didnt realize that Trump was down here and that he had Airforce One here. So I was sitting haveing breakfast at a local restaurant and they said it was at the airport so I had to see. The weather was absolutely beautiful. So decided to check things out.

 I know its only a plane but it was so cool to see it just sitting there. Things are pretty up close and personal here so to see the plane so close was great. Usually in other airports you cannot get close to the planes and see them at a good distance.


There had been peaceful protests and I thought for sure the road would be closed but could drive by Maralago though the security was tight. This was only one pic every turn there were Sheriffs all over.



These boats were on the water in front of Maralago and some were Police. But the boat cut off in the pic all the way to the right was a Coast Guard boat. There was one on both sides of the bridge and there was someone manning a 50 cal machine gun on both boats.



On the road to Maralago there was News trucks with satellite dishes setup along the road. Camera men with long lens cameras trying to get pics in the compound. It was not a circus as I would have expected it would be and quite frankly I didn't know if I would be able to go down the road at all. I have a pic of a tower set up next to the road and it looked like a guard tower and had a machine gun on the top which could see down the road.

 I had gone for a ride to the everglades on Saturday put a few hundred miles on my baby so today was closer to home. Had some things to do at the house but couldn't let this opportunity go. I was so happy I was on the bike it made maneuvering and getting in and out so much easier. The day was just the best and I must tell you I love my bike. It never missed a beat and maneuvering was easy and didn't worry at all about going from highway to idling for a time.

Thanks for posting those pics.   I'm sure it's interesting having the most powerful person in the world there but to be honest, I'm glad it's near your home and not mine.

Hey cool pics Robert, that is close.  Back in the late 80s I use to see it in Palm Springs when Reagan would come out between the Holidays to stay with the Annenbergs.

I'm troubled by this report of location.  The Obama family was reported to have returned to D.C. this weekend from Florida.  Was the President in Florida doing damage control or is it just not possible for the President and ex-president to be in the same locale concurrently?

Not understanding this  ???

 

Former president and wife, Barack and Michelle Obama flew from Washington D.C. to Palm Springs for a grand total of 3 days before jumping on a private jet and going back. Maybe you were thinking of Palm Springs and not Palm Beach? At 3 thousand miles apart its appropriate to represent their thinking and views as president.
