Flying out of Andrews today. Here is a shot of the Air Force One hangar:
And here I am on final coming back into our home base at VKX after the grueling 6 mile flight:

6 miles! Did you have to get clearance to land at VKX before you actually took off from ADW??

Awesome pics! Looks like I missed a great show.
I saw two of those at Opa Locka the other night, and taxied past them while they were unloading.
I ran into them at the FBO, looked like some tough guys. I spoke to them, and asked them about the helicopters and where they were headed. They were nice guys, said they were headed to Haiti.
Also, there's one just like it on Yacht that docks in Miami from time to time.
The 2011 JSOH show is behind us. That was three long but fun days showcasing the best our military has to offer and reminding me of the many things that make this country great.
I'll start with the iPhone pics I took today of several of the static displays. I'm editing the shots from the Canon and will post those soon.

And to put things in perspective in that AF1 hangar pic, that aircraft on the ramp to the right of the hangar is a 757. Yes, that hangar is that big.
