LOL! No they’re not there because of Biden. Nice try though. I guess Biden’s going to be in every major city in the US because the military is currently in every major city in the US including Hollywood Blvd. In LA.

These are US MArine Aircraft.
They are doing practice strafing runs against MAGA supporters ?
Sikorsky White Hawk is the same model that carries the president, Sikorski-VH60N:
Maybe the Chinese are out to spook Joe, so he needs multiple decoys.

They are practicing to locate him once he wanders off.

Funny and sad....was a time, only 40 years ago, when low flying military aircraft in the Bay Area was the norm....not something newsworthy....

Yes it does. I live in Cleveland, less a mile from the KCLE.
Osprey and fighter jets before, during, and after. Pretty standard.

If people got a bill every time Chair Force One and the other VIP fliers made one of these visits I think this would come to a pretty quick halt.
I don't know who pays the local PD and SO to run around with the massive federal people but the cost is high.
In 2017 someone spent a lot of time adding up the Trump travel numbers and the actual cost to run the AF1/2 jets is chump change compared to the fleet of aircraft that bring the security, communications, motorcade (yes including a black painted ambulance), patrol boats, all via air and paid for by us. Just the costs involved with the helicopters, surveillance aircraft, national guard fighters, and air traffic control is in the millions per hour.

Showing them the instruments as in he has F-15s and atomic bombs to remind them to behave while he visits. But he has no dictatorial tendencies.

About 1% of mainland Chinese are very wealthy, due to their CCP connections.
They say the right things, know the right people and do the right things to push forward the CCP goals and, of course, the Party gets their cut.
That's how communism has always worked.
These people are that 1%.

Why would a capitalist invest in communism and destruction of a capitalist society? Lots of wealth and power in being a Commissar.
They think they'll be commissars, not corpses!

Yes. Moffett Naval Air Station and Hamilton Field — before “base realignment.”
We used to have squadrons of P3s from Moffett flying over our house all the time headed to the Pacific for submarine searches. They were below 1,000 feet (it often felt like 500 feet!) and made everything in the house vibrate.
