Does anyone know the correct routing on both directions? Will it be Gander only? On the westbound return, I am not sure if the 757 can make it from St. Petersburg non-stop to Gander.
Also, are there any other websites that track flights outside the US? Flightaware indicates MAF1 is in mid-atlantic, but once the planes leaves a certain distance from North America, the tracking stops.

Slightly off-topic. President Fox is pulling for the creation of G13 which will include Mexico and other developing countries... My question is that when I read the article somewhere in the media Spain was not even mentioned as a member of G8... how come?

Jeppesen has AFAIK a worldwide tracker. Too bad it works only with a subscription.

At a statute distance of 2834 nm, the LED-YQX segment is an easy shot for a B752; a standard version could fly 1,000 nm more. TP-01 (as it is known when carrying the President, in his quality of supreme commander of the Mexican Armed Forces) has got extra fuel tanks, and travels very light when compared to a standard B752.

Tony Blair will propose Mexico, Brazil, China, India, and South Africa be admited in, to form the G13 group. 'Hope it goes thru'.

I highly doubt any Russian spotter will be able to capture a pic of the a/c because Pulkovo airport is closed when the leaders arrive. It's definitely a no-go zone for regular people.

I landed in MCO right by AF1. It was quite a site. Looking down and wondering about snipers looking at you.
