It isn't just "two huge aircraft" that goes where the president goes. I watched "Air Force One" for the second time the other night. In addition to the two identical 747's that are Air Force One when the president is aboard, the second one always makes the trip...anywhere, as a just in case scenario. Also, an entire entourage of aircraft go on ahead to fly two Marine One type helicopters to the destination, as well as another huge C-3 (or similar type) to haul limousines, then there's the platoons of secret service and maintenance folks that need to be along. All in all a presidential trip involves some half dozen huge aircraft and well over 150 or 200 tag-along personnel. No wonder HE is getting his kicks with this unique, expensive toy.
