Presidential planes

I saw a small business jet at Teesside a few days before Dubya's visit. Painted in the green and white two-tone that the presidential helos wear. Sounds like the same thing.

By the way, I thought the presidential helos were some sort of Sea King model. The helos at Teesside were a derivative of the Black Hawk - again painted in the green and white livery.

There were at least two of these on the tarmac ahead of the visit, together with several CH53 Super Stallion and a USN C130 which I guess was there with spares and back/up teams.

What does Tony use these days? I know the PM used to use VC-10s for long-hauls and Royal Flight jets for the shorter stuff.

Rgds,

Tyne.
