Airforce1's support buddy - C17

The securemotorcade vehicles are brought in advance by a C-5 Galaxy or a couple of C-17 Globemasters. More if they bring helicopters, not to mention if they’re making more than one stop on the same trip (as they were with Ireland and Dublin). The spare VC-25 (AF1) is usually stationed somewhere close by in case the one in use suffers a fault. On some foreign trips there will also be a USN carrier battle group exercising off the coast, which is not entirely coincidental.

Generally they only bring in about 10 or so cars specially - the rest will be local police/ambulance/embassy, hired minibuses for journalists and staff, etc.

Oh, that’s not so bad. :Idiots

I do wonder where my ride in Air Force One is, though. Considering I (and most other members here) involuntarily help pay for it.
