It's still in the air.

Ford was sworn in while Nixon was on board. Took off as AF1, landed as SAM 27000

You win!

Awesome shots Jay! You never cease to amaze!

If possible, can you please comment on "what was wrong" with your Plan A shoot position, and "what was acceptable" with your Plan B position. (Too close to the airfield? Too close to the runway centerline? Something else?) USAF 1 flies through my area on occasion but I've always been too paranoid about attempting photography -- afraid of getting arrested, or worse.... Are the restrictions published somewhere? Thanks!

Plan A was too close and too much under the approach path.

Plan B was not as close but still pretty much under the approach path.

Basically, the local LEOs said "Go where we can't see you and you'll be fine" so I guess the field we found was out of sight.
