Unless someone knows better, I prolly should have reported a VC-25 was visiting.

Just wanted to say I had another flight in a T-6 on July 2.
AT-6F 44-81693, MSN 121-42415, N85593.

Put on chutes and did rolls and loop. Great fun.

I was four F-16s ripping around in afterburner at low-level along US-421 near Medaryville, Indiana on Friday. Not sure what was up with that - there are no military bases or airports anywhere near the area I saw them - but I certainly appreciated the show while I was heading up to Michigan!

Just to be "THAT GUY": its not AF1 or AF2 unless the POTUS or VPOTUS are on board. I only found that out when Nixon resigned. Left Andrews AFB on AF1, resignation took effect while in flight, designation changed to SAM*** (Special Air Mission).
