Bush jet 'damaged Canberra runway'
Doesn't take much to rip up an apron. I have seen Dash-8s eat holes in the bitumen on warm days doing there hairpin turns to get out of the bay. I can just imagine what a 744 would do

Well there you go...and here I was thinking it was a 400 with a 200 bubble, like the 744F's.

And no winglets either BH. The only 400's without them are the 400D's in Japan.
The only reason a 400F does not have the EUD is because it cuts into the ceiling height on the main deck. Causing a little problem with the loading of ULDs.
Bit of useless trivia for you.

I'm just amazed that Johnny's got a newer plane!

Good point, Little Johnny is one up on George W, even if it is a quarter of the size. I wonder which one has the best IFE?
Actually how old is AF1 now? The 707's were replaced in '90 (I think) with the 747's. They must have a few hours (and landings) on them now.
And CBR should have been upgraded years ago. It is the capital FGS!! Although I am sure if you asked a few Americans they would tell you SYD was.
Did one of George W's advisors have to get an atlas out to show him where Us-trail-lee-a was?

I'll bet most 744 pilots wish they could have a go at flying AirForce one
AirForce One probably has more switches,buttons and tricks than a dozen standard 744's and a IFE system that would be the envy of most airlines and I bet you would never have to worry about ATC putting you in a holding pattern.
On the "What is the capital of " note...does anyone know what the capital of California is ?

Was someone misinformed and thought that Air Force one was still a 707???
If he was flying in a Cessna 152, it would have the callsign Air Force One.

YSCB RW 17/35 PCN35FBYU
B747-400 ACN60
I don't know what the basic weight is of Air Force 1 but probably not much different from a commercial 747-400. Landing weight at YSCB would depend on landing fuel and POB and I would guess it would land at a relatively low weight.
The Boeing pavement Strength Overload Guidance states:
For normal operations, pavement limitations can usually be exceeded by 5 to 10% without any appreciable impact on pavement life. For low frequency operations, overloads in the order of 10 to 25% are acceptable, however the pavement should be in good condition, otherwise near term deterioation may be initiated by the overload. For emergency situations, a 50 to 100% overload allowance is generally accepted, subject to the discretion of the airport involved.
Where did Air Force 1 originate from before landing at YSCB? What tyre pressures did they use for the YSCB landing? Couldn't have done too much damage if it took the airport operator three years to complain about it.

Alaska is of course correct.
Alabama's coastline, also known as the redneck riviera, only has views of the Gulf of Mexico.
The only other US state that begins and ends with "A" is Arizona and they need some water to add to their extensive sand holdings to have a beach view of any sort.
Since the only other state or country with Pacific views that begins and ends with an "A" is Australia........ me thinks Buster may be paying taxes to the wrong Fed.
Cheers!

How about Alaska and American Somoa...
You would need one heck of a telescope to see the Pacific Ocean from either Arizona or Alabama and a very tall tower or mountain
