Anyone in Cinci that could help with the type of Aircraft hes flying on, it would be very much appreciated. I am assuming a C-32, but, I suppose they could get the 747 in and out on 6500ft.

Is he going into CVG or LUK? If it is CVG they should have no problem with the VC-25 as all runways are >= 10,000 ft. If it is LUK, then of course it would probably be something smaller. Smaller than a C-32 even.
Edit: Sorry, the 6,500 is for TVC. Dope!, I need to read more carefully next time.

You're kidding right?
If our president is using our tax $$ to charter an a/c when he basically has a fleet of PERFECT a/c (747, GV, 757, 737..All in president c/s) then we have issues. Who needs an all first class layout.

The TVC feed is running if you want to listen in. We have F16's and an E-3 Sentry (dunno if hes still there) circling over the area. They are communicating on VHF, Minneapolis Center is calling out the traffic for them. Air Space shut down until 600pm EDT.
Somewhat dead now as the only traffic allowed in the area is airline traffic heading to TVC. All other stuff is flying around TVC. 30 Mile radius up to infinity.

The C-5A Galaxy flew in to CVG on Sunday, August 15th. The President flew into CVG on the Boeing VC-25A (747-2G4B) on Monday, August 16th. The local news had pictures of his arrival at CVG.

The C-32 must have been there also, because that is what he flew into TVC on. Sounds like you guys had a good show down there also.

What is the shortest runway the VC-25 has landed on??
Clinton flew into LIT regularly when he was President and 4L is only 8,273 ft. long and 4R is currently being extended from 7,200 ft. to around the same length as 4L if not longer.

Well you better start taking offense to the tax payer money used to support the President's campaign, because as a perk, the incumbent President gets to use Air Force One for all election activities. It is not only Bush, but Clinton, Bush Sr., Reagen and Carter used it....and the list goes on. Every sitting President gets to use it for their re-elections....and you and I pay for it.

Not me, my dear Skibum9, I don't pay taxes in the US.
But as I said: If I were American I would certainly take offense regardless of the party, Clinton, Bush, Carter ...

If you are from Germany, then believe me when I say there is a lot to take offense to in the U.S. when it comes to entitlements and abuses of tax payer money.
