Airforce 1 in town, advice?

KirkS518 · 7th of September 2012 (Fri)

I don't follow politics, so I just now read that the President is flying into our local airport in about an hour. He's doing some campaigning here tomorrow, which means his plane will be here overnight. There is a chance (slim I realize) that the plane will be visible while at the airport.

Any pointers if I try and get a photo (almost said shot, but I didn't want to freak out any Secret Service agents that may peruse the forum) tonight? Is his departure time something that would be public information? Might want to try and get a snap of it taking off.

If I were you, I'd take some test shots before it's takeoff. Maybe 1/200 sec, high ISO w/the lens wide open. This thread may give you some ideas: Night Air Show - Alma, MI The EXIF is in the images.

I have to move this to T. Talk, & good luck.
