I’m still amazed at the meteoric rise of Bluesky, and glad my page is along for the ride. I love nerding out over airplanes with all of you, and I’m grateful for the knowledge base here. I’ve learned quite a bit about various aircraft types, aircraft operations and the like. You all rock 🤙
Seeing Air Force One in person is interesting. When they are ready to taxi, the entire airfield shuts down, and the radio goes silent. They taxi out, and use whichever runway they want, regardless of wind direction. There is heavy state police presence around the airport, including a helicopter.
I was very lucky that I was able to get this shot. You can even see the state police vehicles on top of the parking garage in the background. The lighting was great too, and it all came together for what is still my personal favorite pic.
Great pic! after landing on a flight from LHR I caught Air Force 1 on film, on the “far side” of MIA well away from other aircraft, in December 1994 (OMG 30 years ago) Even with maximum zoom it’s just a speck in the distance
