I Believe it. I was invited to see President Bush fly out of Boeing Field. And yes C-17s did accompany Air force One. They were on the opposite side of the run way. They were used to fly the two helicopters (one being Marine One), and a host of vehicles, and all the Secret Service equipment. You bet they can carry the buses.
My lack of belief was not concerning the feasibility of the C-17 being able to carry the buses.
I find it hard to believe that this was actually done in the manner described. I would need more substantive proof that this took place per the article.
However, thanks for sharing with this humble Navy wife.

Remember all the hell Palin caught for not giving her itenerary to the press...”someone is going to have a car accident if the press does not know”.....the press said they would just follow and create a big traffic disruption. But we did not see Obama traveling the countryside....only his triumphal entry as the convoy arrived in this hamlet or town. Did the press follow him? Did anyone see transport aircraft arriving in nearby target cities? If this is true, hell should visit Mr.obama.
