How to find out if Bush/Cheney are sneaking into your town:
The FAA issues Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) a few days before either the Bushinator or Frankencheny travel anywhere to be sure pilots don't transgress the Sacred Airspace. This is public information, and it is available here: http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/notams.html

So, with this info, you can prepare to make posters and surround the press bus in your town, just like the good citizens of Denver!

1. Good find.
Do you know if this would include any touchdowns for refueling? Air Force One used to do it's practice touch and go's at the AFB by my farm and when Clinton was pres it used to stop here fairly regularly just for a refuel. If I can find out that they do stop over I will put my anti Bush** sign back on the roof of my barn.

2. Anywhere AF1 flies (if * is on it) is a place nobody else can fly.
If he's on the plane there's a TFR in effect, so get your sign ready.

5. They only call it AF1 when the idiot is aboard
If they attach his sorry, fetid ass to a kite and send it aloft, that kite becomes AF1!!!

8. Yeah, he should go fly one!!!
You never hear that expression "Oh, go fly a kite!" anymore!!

It's been replaced with the more direct "f@ck off" I guess--but back in the day, "go fly a kite" meant the same thing!!!!!

4. I love the title of your post
thanks for the giggle.

I remember once, when Poppy B was in the WH, he came to Tallahassee Airport. I've never seen a sitting president. Or a standing one, either. So I said to the kids, who were teenagers, "Let's go to the Airport to look for Bush!"

EWWWWW they said, because they had no idea he was coming to town and thought I was suggesting something else.

10. If you know an ER doc, RN, or hospital risk mgr or security
officer, you'd know before flight restrictions by a month at least.

The WH medical corps and the Secret Service tour the local hospital they choose to treat the prez or veep in case shit happens.

They do this on every single trip his majesty takes.
