You're right, the truth is out there, but we're never gonna be told what really happened.

But what I don't understand is why the US government & BA are denying it when it's already in the past.

I mean come one, Bush's secret trip is no longer secret

If they had left well alone it would already be ancient history. Denying it simply causes suspicion but they're too blind to see that. The problem with these people is that they're so used to telling lies they wouldn't know the truth if it hit them between the eyes.

Of course, the whole thing is a non-issue anyway.  Who cares if someone saw Air Force One for a few seconds while it was on the way overseas...  Roll Eyes

Maybe they should ask Worf if he can go undercover & get details of the Klingon cloaking device. Roll Eyes Tongue

I think he is a little crazy to fly over there in air force one anyway.  Maybe he was in the gulfstream aircraft.  Flying in AF1 would have made him a prime target anyway.

Well, assuming this really happened - which we're now told it didn't. Is it only me who's confused here? ???

As I was saying. Somehow I can't see a BA captain mistaking a bleedin' great 747 with stars & stripes all over it for a Gulfstream. Shocked

If it was a gulfstream, how would the BA pilot have any reason to suspect that it was the President?

It would have had to been the Air Force One Jet he always uses, otherwise the BA pilot just wouldn't know

Maybe he was on a Gulfstream.  Air Force One is not the name of the plane, after all.  It's the call sign for the plane the president is on.  I think taking the 747 would have been a bit hard to hide anyway.  Or maybe he wasn't trying to hide it, but wanted to let everyone in Iraq SEE AF! there.  Either way it was still a ballsy move...

ok here goes.
He did go over on the 747. They did NOT use the codename Airforce 1. instead to keep up the secrecy,, they used a gulfstream or simmilar generic call sign. the 747 flew with no lights at all and all the shutters were closed. and since it was dark i believe in Baghdad your not going ot be able to identify it and most people would have prob shrugged it off as another cargo plane. The reason there may have been some confusion was because the BA plane prob got a traffic warning that a gulfstream was flying nearby so they would have looked out the window and seen a 747, if you were in that captains shoes, wouldnt you question it?? whys it a big deal if he took the 747 or not, could you imagine fitting journalists their equiptment secret service officials aides to pres bush and the crew on a gulfstream? remember its a 13 hour flight to. I think the media needs to drop it really, it was gutsy it paid off, he went over and came back on the 747 whoopdy doo
