this was very cool. i had my cell camera over at the Colgan Hanger but the quality was poor. It was pretty cools seeing AF1 landing at our humble airport lol! PS yeah they made the north/south runway longer since Clinton was here.
When Clinton came in the 90's he did come on the same plane. The feds do have 737's but I know for a fact that Clinton came on a 747. I was a kid, but I know my planes
OMG, i was shocked and surprised when i saw on tv that this huge 4 wengine 747 actually could land here at albany. last time when clinton came in it was on smaller 737.
no, it was a 747, and the runway was alot smaller when Clinton came. 8,500 feet is good enough for a Jumbo. JFK frequently uses the smaller runway for the 747s, and that is 8,400 feet. When Clinton came, the runway was 7,200 feet long.
