the press onboard said they didn’t notice anything.

Good thing our national asset (including the fine crew) is not harmed.

As for Barry, what is the purpose of this said trip again? What national importance? To what regular citizens will this trip benefit?

I thought so.

“Executes a missed approach”

Perfect metaphor for the Obama administration.

[Seaplaner]

I'm really not sure why this is "news".

The missed approach is part of instrument flying, and the visibility goes below minimums at decision height (or if the approach is "off" for other reasons), we fly the "miss".

(It's a good thing.)

The new “longest 40 minutes” of his life. Can’t wait to hear the press regale us with tales of his coolness in a tense situation. Blech. The plane should have a “Baby on Board” sticker.

[AU72]

At least they weren’t trying to land in Smolensk.

[wny]

the visibility is obviuosly racist

Air Force 1 is a Boeing 747-200B. All B-747s are equipped with autoland, depending on the options and model some are equipped for Cat III.

Perhpas a mechanical failure, or crosswind too high for autoland?

[ILS21R]

Another subliminal coup. The only problem is that obama is too stupid to pick up on it.

[ConservativeWarrior]

Slow news day.

Going missed is routine when visibility is close to minimums.

Been raining here in CT for a few days, and cloud cover is pretty low.

Maybe they were trying out an Affirmative Action pilot to fly the Affirmative Action Prez. I think that’s a great idea :-)

US President Barack Obama makes his way to board Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. The official plane carrying Obama aborted an initial landing Wednesday due to poor weather before safely touching down in Connecticut, federal aviation officials told AFP. (AFP/Mandel Ngan)

An informed but unnamed natural born White House custodian has told us that, to further strengthen our trade relations with our new friends the Chinese, the Boeing 747 now used as Air Force One is being replaced with a PVLM 666. Manufactured by the Peoples' Victorious Long March Aircraft, Awning and Porta-Potty Collective from recycled allied warplanes lost over China during WWII, a photo of the soon-to-be-delivered aircraft is below.

The revolutionary new Chinese airliner. Extra heavy duty seatbelts and goggles available as standard and recommended for passengers who wish to arrive at their destination.

I must say that ANY headline that has “Air Force One” “executes” and “Obama” -or any prez- in the same sentence deserves a ‘look see’.... <: <:

[ealgeone]

I understand that Obama, after recognizing the approach was bad, rushed to the cockpit, removed the pilot and single handedly pulled the plane up averting the loss of both plane and crew.

After instructing the pilot on proper approach techniques, Obama then returned control of the plane back to the captain.

I, for one, will miss “Missed Approach”. He was a good boy. He had a tough childhood. Did the Air Force have to execute him? Is there no mercy left in this world?

[pabianice]

OMG!!! A missed approach at DH for poor visibility!!!! The horror! /S
