Bush makes final flight aboard Air Force One
Source: CNN

President Bush has flown on Air Force One to Washington for the last time.

The President and Mrs. Bush landed at Andrews Air Force Base at 3:20 pm, ending their final flight aboard Air Force One. They returned from Norfolk, Virginia, where the USS George H.W. Bush was commissioned Saturday morning.

Air Force One, with President Bush still on board, taxied directly into its hangar at the base. The president met privately with workers who are part of the presidential airlift group that handled operations for the planes.

White House spokesperson Dana Perino said President Bush wasn’t aware this was his last flight on Air Force One until he was told by an interviewer.

The next time he’ll be on the plane, it will be as a former president being flown back to Texas after President-elect Barack Obama takes the oath of office. The plane will have a different designation for that flight, since it is only Air Force One when the sitting president is on board.

5. Good. The Air Force will have 10 days to decontaminate it
and get rid of the * stench. If that's possible.

9. On the Texas flight it'll be Dempsey Dumpmaster 1.
And it isn't decontamination or delousing, as some people insist on saying. The problem will be getting the spilled bourbon and leftover cocaine dust (and the vomit clogging the john) cleaned up before the Obama kids board the plane.

DHS and CDC need to be called in
Designation should be "Dumbo One" when this asshole rides in our airplane for the last time.

They need to have DHS come in with Hazmat kits to thoroughly decontaminate our airplane and have CDC give it a clean bill of health before letting the first elected president in this nation in 8 years board our airplane and restore dignity to the office.

How'd you like to say you served on that ship?
Thing will probably sink or be decomissioned because it's faulty within a six months

30. For the trip back to Texas put Bu$h on the 89th SAM's most lowly aircraft: C-20B.
89th Airlift Wing (SAM - Special Air Mission) Aircraft:

VC-25A (Boeing 747)
C-20B (Gulfstream III)
C-32A (Boeing 757)
C-37A (Gulfstream V)
C-40B (Boeing 737)



USAF C-20 (Gulfstream III)

http://www.andrews.af.mil/library/factsheets/factsheet....


Still not a bad ride. But Bu$h needs to start his re-entry into reality. And Obama owes Bu$h nothing.
