Hi,

Just wondering which airport did G. W. Bush land at, on his return to the USA after his visit to England? He left from Teeside EGNV.

Also, this might seem like a daft question but, what aircraft would all his security men and vehicles be travelling in? Not being from the USA I don

his security team travel with him with a few backup in another plane, all the cars and trucks are transported across a few days before i think on C17's
as for what type of helicopter not quite sure.

The thing you see him flying in the states looks like a seaking of sorts.

your correct it is a version of the sea king, just done a quick check on it

HE very likely landed at Andrews Air Force Base in MAryland- it is just 11 miles from the white house. It is the 'HQ' for the gov. transports- the 2 identical Air Force One aircraft are based there as are the fleet of 757s used to transport the Sec. of State and the Sec. of Defense and the Vice PResident.

From Andrews, the president is flown one either a blackhawk or a sea-king variation (when I was in DC- I saw both in the air in the US president livery)

good info on the hilo here http://home.rose.net/~dingdong/Aircraft/

The secret service uses a C-17 and a C-141 to transport thier personell as well as the president's helicopter and motorcade.

Thanks for the info everyone.

Havoc.

Clinton had a few C-5's for the cars and stuff when he came to holland.
Anyone living near schiphol remembers that day (most calls about aircraft noise)
