The Air Force flew in 7 tanker trucks--35K gallons of fuel for AF1 (and the back up) each. Gee, I'm sure that was an efficient use of taxpayer money. Bush's mission on this documentary was to visit equatorial Africa and a clinic that we fund over there in Tanzania.
Oh, fuck me running, does this highly inaccurate middle school thread get copied and pasted everywhere?Christ on a crutch.
I know most of you that posted in this thread have zero comprehension of life outside of your own little bubbles, so here's a lesson for you to learn:
Imagine high-ranking politicians regularly taking commercial flights. They have to book first class of course, and they have to book seats for their secretaries, pages, press officers, and bodyguards, and often family members. The credit card used would have to be very secure, likely a throwaway that could only be used once or twice to avoid theft. The airport has to be shut down, the entire path from the parking lot to the terminal cordoned off, every employee screened, everyone randomly coming out of the washroom having no idea what's going on gets detained for routine questioning.
Imagine high-ranking politicians taking chartered flights. The entire charter service is screened, not just the physical location and each plane, but every employee right down to the janitor and the guy delivering fuel. Again, the whole place is cordoned off and shut down, disrupting flights for hundreds of other passengers that have lives and don't need to be stuck on the ground.
In both cases the charges would be at retail prices. Including sales tax and baggage fees.
It's far cheaper and more efficient to have planes (and other vehicles) specifically for government officials.
Today's lesson was brought to you by the letters D and C, and the number 7.8
I don't have a problem with AF1 or it's decoy ... it's basically a mobile command center, the decoy is used, well, as a decoy in order to protect the president. Yes, it costs bucks to maintain this. And? Shouldn't the president be protected at all costs? There is so much more money going for waste by the government on other things, this is what should be stopped. Eliminating the president's plane or decoy isn't one of them, imo.
Any use of AF or Marine One that isn't government business should be paid for out of pocket by the president. Utilizing these aircraft for personal use on the taxpayer's dime is just flat out wrong.
People who whine about the presidents use of af1 are ridiculous. He doesn't have the option of flying commercial. He and his family HAVE to take Af1. If you want to discuss better options for travel for the 1st family, let's talk, but don't whine because you don't think they deserve to travel.
If you really want a shock, check this out:
When ANY president flies anywhere, AF One and the other 747 are both in the air. Both aircraft are more than just luxury aircraft but have a sophisticated suite of electronics to keep the president in touch with anyone, anywhere he needs.
Besides AF One, the Air Force provides transport aircraft for the limousines and other vehicles used by the Secret Service as well as the press. An Air Force tanker [or tankers] also go along to ensure the aircraft have fuel. The flight crews and other service personnel also travel with the president.
Then, there is Marine One [actually two different choppers], Navy One, Coast Guard One, and several smaller VIP aircraft, all based at Andrews Air Force Base.
Should we do away with all of this?
Although I think King Barry, Dingy Harry, and Queen Pelosi, along with a lot of other members of Congress often abuse the services by the AF squadron responsible for all of this.
Any guesses how much it REALLY costs to fly the president somewhere?

I whined about AF one the day jerks ass did his fly over in NYC! that was a fucking waste of taxpayers money.

According to the documentary; the back up plane flies when he goes over-seas, not domestically.
Fox says it costs about $180,000 a day or something like that.

Would you rather he were unable to communicate if there were a crisis underway?
For an exercise, think of AF1 going back to DC from Dallas back in November of '63, with a brand-new President needing briefed.

But they do use a decoy chopper domestically... I have seen them when the POTUS comes to Houston.
Makes complete sense too... those things are slow.
