Thank You for the insightful UK perspective Richard. The last time I saw Air Force One (and 15 minutes later Air Force 2) it was flying over my house right before the elections, for a last ditch rally in town with the former guy. I screamed at the sky. It felt like a military invasion. How wonderful to again see it as a marvel. P.S. Am I the only latter day hippie who likes Justin Trudeau's long hair?

No, no: you’ve got company.

My first, last and only view of AirForce One was 29 October 1998 when we were in Florida to watch John Glenn being launched into space on the Shuttle Discovery. Bill Clinton stopped by to wish him well - obviously a much happier experience of yours. I only noted Trudeau's hair in passing. It was much shorter and tidier than mine was for many months during lockdown, so who am I to complain?
