Don't know about his arrival at LHR, but when he came to PHX two weeks ago, AF1 was scheduled to arrive at 14:15, and the airplane landed at precisely....14:15
Scheduled to depart at 20:45, departed....20:44
Now, I can't personally say much anout his policies, but on time he most certainly is.

Its called Brize Norton isn't it? And aren't those whirly things called helos.
Oh well why do the obvious secure and efficient solution when you can disrupt Heathrow, delay thousands of pasengers and assuage your green credentials by forcing aircraft into holding patterns.

<<Surely the USAF Colonel in the left hand seat should take the credit for on time performance.>>
Nope - the Air Traffic Controllers. At a busy airport it's quite a skilled job to get an aircraft to land at an exact time.

It's called an ego trip.
So the choice of landing destination is not decided by the host nation?
Damn, we have got to start exercising our power in more direct ways!

As Gee Dubya seems to have Hijacked the Armed Forces of the UK as his own assets, surely he should be treated as a hijacker and made to land at Stansted airport, then remain indefinitely in the UK.

Of course, we'll have to use our carriers and ships to get that muscle there.
Not to mention, that even France found the gumption to stand up to 'the man.' Amazing that the Frogs found a spine to say 'non,' but not you.
As the Iranians discovered.
