at times like this, and despite my fondness for FOXNews, it's a good idea to channel surf. The plane is being shown touching down at Andrews on CNN, while FOX has a commercial

Actually, this was a 'dry run' for security.

Let me rephrase that....turned out to be a 'dry run'. The security forces are doing a great job. Bless them all.

Thanks for the ping! They said that Brit is going to handle all of this for which I am very, very grateful! President Reagan has arrived aboard Air Force One at Andrews AFB, MD

Can ya beleive it's 'cool' here, 77 degrees, in Las Vegas today? Unreal for this time of year.

We've just been through several days of 105 degrees.

You are right -- President Bush did designate the plane carrying Pres Reagan as Air Force One!
