so, The president came to buffalo and all I have heard so far is that he likes chicken wings. Sounds like a real productive visit. Glad to see the president is still more of symbol than an actual leader who has to make important decisions. :tup:
So how much did this “Campaign” trip cost the American taxpayer??
His trip to Chicago in 2009 cost $236000.
fucking traffic was awful
jesus there were SO MANY COPS out today
Actually I think we’re both wrong. I drove past the airport on the way home and it looked to me very much like a C5 Galaxy.
Why didn’t they fly him into the Niagara Falls Airbase and head to Buffalo instead of cause the congestion in Cheektowaga?
Because causing the congestion all the way from NF to Buffalo would have been worse?
Ok, it’s a military airbase. More secure with military patrol and with less passenger flights. NF isn’t nearly as congested as Cheektowaga and 33.
The delays at the airport were minimal and as an aiport it’s already very secure. The president is at the highest risk traveling by car which I’m sure is why they fly in as close as possible. Not to mention there is really only one viable route between NF and the venue, something the secret service aren’t big on. Armored limo or not if you know the route you could plan an attack.
I saw a blue Suburban with Homeland Security vinyl’s on it, and roof lights, almost thought it was a trooper. This was around 6:00pm on the 90 going west. Traffic was the suck today!
idk they both look similar, but the c-5’s nose is bigger and the engines are further away from the body.
c-5
c-17
Just checked wikipedia. You were right. It’s a C-17 Globemaster III that transports the vehicles.
I love huge aircraft.
That a way buffalo:
Duff’s business is going to explode. You just can’t buy this kind of publicity.
Glad we took the spotlight with our fatass foods, the world is going to bow down to our amazingness as a city now…
we always take the spotlight on our food
God too bad duff’s sucks.
Too bad it couldn’t have been at the barbill instead
:tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup::tup: I LOVE that place.
