Guessing Air Force One wont be parking at Mendi...hahaha
Could Air Force One land at POM? Many peoples feeling is that
if Trump comes, (maybe he'll send the VP instead) he'd be put on an aircraft carrier out in the bay and be choppered into the conference centre. Already in the past 6 months there has been an Aussie aircraft carrier in the bay, and we've just had a visit from a Russkie warship. Could be that there are a few nervous leaders trying not to stay in the newly built Hilton.
