Ok so there is a VIP TFR around KPHX today starting at 5pm. President Obama is going to be in town to check out some parts of Mesa that have had high foreclosure rates. Then tomorrow hes making a speech at one of the high schools and signing something to help with the Arizona Housing market.

But that's besides the point.

What I want to know is if anyone in the PHX area is going to be out there today?  I'm wanting to get some photos of AF1 and am not totally sure where to go.  Looks like the airport is favoring runways 26/25L,R today with the wind so that gives me a couple ideas anyway.

Planned arrival is 5:15pm.

Good luck with finding a decent spotting locations, the secret service will probably be all over it.  Last time we had a president here, the SS spotted a utility guy working in a bucket, two miles from the airport but high enough to be see, and had a nice little chat with him.

There was virtually no security (That I could see anyway) but either way I just missed him.

[no political intent]I heard he was supposed to be in Denver this afternoon to sign off on the stimulus thing. I may have misheard.[/no political intent]

He was in Denver.  But then he was to fly out here after the signing.
