Flying First Class

Air Force 1 - First Class Seats!

Living near a major Air Force base we see some pretty cool jets. Air Force 1 is a fairly common sight in our skies. Tuesday afternoon, walking out the door of our house with a friend, looked up to see Air Force 1 against cloudy skies... always a little awe inspiring... read in this morning's paper that our local police chased down some kids spotted from a helicopter, getting out of a car with something that looked like a rifle, while Air Force 1 was flying over my neighborhood. Ended up being a student, dropped off from the local High Schools band practice, with his flute in case. Just a couple of blocks away from our house... such drama!

And the say Britney Spears has all the fun.

I've never flown in a private jet- I guess technically speaking, Air Force 1 is about as public a plane as you can get, -I've never even flown first class... but whenever the president flies over our house it's not hard to see that he's got some pretty cool wings. Has to share it with every other president. Only has it for another year or so- bet he's going to miss it -but just the same, doubt if he starts to fly coach.

When you get ready to vote- remember, someone's picking up a pretty cool ride with the election. It may be how I decide to cast my vote... "Who deserves Air Force 1 at their beck and call?" What would really throw the election into a tail spin, no pun intended, is if one of the candidates pledged to fly SouthWest Airlines, stand in security lines with 2 ounce tubes of shampoo, then eat peanuts in unassigned seats with the rest of us commoners... she/he might get my vote! I'm guessing THAT's not going to happen anytime soon.

Flying First Class... it's a luxury... hope whoever wins, hope our current president remembers that everytime they fly. Kid's with flutes are counting on them!
