Presidential RA(T)s - 24th - 26th May 2011

[eharding]

Just in case anyone was planning on a bimble round Stapleford or North Weald over the next few days, and hasn't seen the NOTAM, J0782/11

Can't imagine that busting this one would be particularly good for your health.

There is one linked in the original post.

There is another one, just posted on the Flyer site, here (http://forums.bmaa.org/attach.aspx/7467/39_%20POTUS_2011.pdf)

Could he not have hopped on the train like you or I?
There is a perfectly good train service from Stansted to Central London. Then he would not have needed half a dozen helicopters, a C5 and a couple of C17s. These numbers are only approximate.
He is after all a man of the people and his nation is on the edge of a recession so a little belt tightening would be appropriate.

[eharding]

NB - the NOTAM has been re-issued with amended timing, as above.

As for taking the train, given that his limo groaning under the weight of all that armour couldn't make it out of the Dublin Embassy, can you imagine the mayhem the security measures would cause?

Have you seen this:SkyDemon Light (http://www.skydemonlight.com/)?
