Now, you know, it was not Zero who wanted to leave early, and certainly not because he wanted to show any concern for the people who might endure the effects of the hurricane. Nor did he want to go back to DC to take assume any leadership responsibilities.
He was probably told (forced)to leave by the AF because they didn't want to risk flying AF One from the East Coast any later than tomorrow. I bet the concern was more for the plane and crew. Who the heck cares if Zero is stuck in the throws of Irene? Let him stay out on the golf course while the hurricane passes over his head!
I just wonder if Mooshelle, her daughters, her Mom, and her twenty some attendants will come back early. Or if she will even fly on the same plane as her husband. I doubt she will forego the expense of having her own special flight. After all, the queen likes to travel separately since the taxpayers are footing the bill.
I heard on Fox that Michelle and the kids will return to DC tomorrow.
For aircraft, the time to get out of the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast is RIGHT NOW.
It’s gonna be a LONG night for me. My largest customer is sending me 30 East Coast RON aircraft by morning, and I have to find a place to put them all.
