They have lots of other executive aircraft; doesn’t necessarily have to be the big 747. I think Pelosi’s old bird is open for duty.
Thank you so much for posting this! God bless El Rushbo.
Or don jr could have sent a trump plane.
That was my thought. And have a Trump/Limbaugh signed plaque affixed to where Nancy hangs out during her trips.
IIRC, when the Nancy's abuse of the aircraft became known, the USAF release some statement to the effect that she can request the 757, but only gets it if it's available, that is, it's not assigned to her.
(Yeah, right.)
thanks for posting this up. Didn’t have the chance to listen today due to work, so it was great to read through this.
What a magnificent story, not only because of Rush, but because it shows the true character of President Trump. Bravo.
The Commander-in-Chief has a fleet of Air Force jets that provide VIP transportation. Everyone recognizes the Boeing 747s that function as Air Force One, and the C-32 (Boeing 757) that President Trump sometimes uses for shorter trips, and also provides airlift for the VP, members of the cabinet, the First Lady and members of Congress.
But the USAF also has a number of business jets that can be used as well. There are five C-20s (Gulfstream IIIs) at Andrews AFB, along with four C-37s (Gulfstream Vs). Guessing that one of those aircraft was dispatched to pick up Rush and his wife and deliver them to Washington.
BTW, just after the State of the Union, an on-line aircraft tracking site posted that EIB-1 was departing DCA with a flight plan filed for Boston. However, if you enter the tail number for Rush’s Gulfstream G550, it tells you that tracking info for that aircraft is not shared. So, the tracking report might have been bogus.
My sister had the port prior to the bone marrow transplant for breast cancer.
“It’s late stage. It’s advanced lung cancer. But there’s good news associated with the diagnosis and the treatment.”
Doesn’t sound from that like he is ready to throw in the towel.
She needs a 757 to carry all the alcohol she consumes before, during and after each flight...
Priorities for a woman of her “station”, the Empress in Waiting
A legend in her own mind
Cancer is deeply personal and every sufferer, and their family will react differently. My mother is a survivor, her odds were good... Ive also known people who were terminal cases, and those who go the route of palliative care, as opposed to fighting it tooth and nail, seem to suffer less in the long term. That’s only from my limited personal experience.
Yes, it does not sound good. But a woman I used to work with, was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer approximately 10 years ago, and she seemed to have beat it, and is doing very well now, considering her age and what she went through. Just to say, there may be some hope for successful treatment and more good years for Rush.
Also, she was demanding that the plane be stocked with her favorite brand name booze, too.
When she started with the 757, I figured she was hauling tuna for her campaign-donating South Pacific canneries.
Does the heart good to see Rush get this well-deserved medal. Given his awareness of impending departure I suspect he will have the gift of building up his audience in a wonderful way as his “talent on loan from God” is dispensed. Truly an amazing public figure who has been instrumental in blessing our land and its people.
I definitely hope so. And Rush has money so he can afford the very best. I would sorely miss his analysis on this upcoming election. I think the President listens to him too and Rush helps steer his course. I also like Michael Savage but it’s a totally different experience listening to him.
I am so glad to read this tonight. I had appointments all day and was wondering about Rush and what he would say today. Thank you so much for posting all this.
The luck is not limited to you, Rush. A vast number of people over the last thirty years have been lucky that you are there. Things would be vastly different in this country without Rush Limbaugh. And not for the better.
Proud of Rush. Proud for Rush.
Like many, a listener from his first show. He is like a friend I never met. I have not listened every single day but anytime something really important happened I have tuned in anxious to hear Rush’s take on the subject. He never has disappointed me.
He was just so excited on Tuesday night. What an honor.
I listen to Rush every evening, the whole show, either on YouTube when it is posted, or my 24/7 Rush Subscription. With YouTube, I can watch the entire show without all of the commercials, traffic reports and weather updates, so it comes to about 1 hour and 50 minutes a day.
I really love the fact that not only did Rush get the Presidential Medal of Freedom, but the whole country got to watch it and the democrats in Congress were captive to it also!
Must have REALLY pissed them off, which only ADDS to its greatness!
