Regardless of who is on board, its is always a treat to see AF-1 or in particular the VC-25A that is most associated with the presidential call sign.
I was denied base access and much to my chagrin after biking like a madman to my usual perch in the Baylands, the SS had closed it as well (it was
open during the Obama visit) so I had to hoof it again 6 miles in about 20 minutes on bike to the other side of the base.
I have to admit I'm no expert on security, but I'm perplex as why they allow people so close to the plane on decent but closed a perch a good 1-2
miles from the base???? But I digress.
No Ospreys or VH-1, rather a pretty huge motorcade. The angle and heat rippling were to much to make out the limo as you will see, I also a iffy pic
of the countermeasures under one of the nacelles
The shots were with my Nikon D7500 and a Sigma Sport 60-600mm lens ( it was amusing to walk up among all the at least 75 people with Iphones with the
monster lens)
You can just make out the infrared stuff. Its a tough shot cause fo the cyclone fence
Motorcade and C-17 support vehicle pretty blurry
