9. Aircraft behind it?
Edited on Thu Dec-04-03 04:46 PM by rmpalmer
<The pilot of the aircraft asked whether the aircraft behind it was Air Force One.>

WTF, since when do airplanes have rear view mirrors or rear windows? How the hell did a plane in front of AF1 figure out the plane behind it was AF1?

Only way I could think of that they could possibly spot AF1 is if AF1 was at a higher altitude and perhaps off to the side.

But I'd expect they'd have kept a greater air space separation.

This story is certainly growing some legs.
