Hi Mom!
I made a call to the White House the day before the President came to visit Reno to photograph the arrival of Air Force One.
I was selected as one of the 3 still photographers allowed to be on the runway. They have shoot to kill orders and told us that "when we are wheels down, nobody move around much and DO NOT come off the platform we were standing on".
The National Guard Military personal were kept back much further than we were. He did not get to meet him, but what a big deal.
The production that goes into his arrival is astounding.
Airplanes have always interested me and there is no finer Jet than this one. I know Bush is not everyones favorite, but it
was a once in a lifetime experience.
