Giant TFR at osh.

That would be awesome to have a 30nm TFR around OSH during Airventure. The hilarity that would ensue might almost make the epic cluster worth it.

He'd probably hit on Patty Wagstaff and offer her a beer.

A few years years ago he paid a visit to Appleton. It wasn't during Airventure but it made me wonder about it. That is all it would take, a visit to a nearby airport.
Yeah, like the POTUS is going to show up at the biggest chemtrail spraying event of the year...
In 2003, I was down at Kitty Hawk for the 100th anniversary (we knew Kevin who was going to fly the thing so we wanted to see it). The weather was really miserable that morning but W came in his helo and gave his speech and left. Not too long after, a B-2 made a low pass over the runway which I thought was pretty cool. Shortly there after AF-1 (and I mean it in the technical sense, W was aboard) made a similar low pass. Having lived my entire life near ADW, I don't think I've ever heard of an AF-1 low pass at any other time.

Air Force One or Marine One?

AF1 landed at Seymore Johnson and he heloed over to FFA. He departed back to SJ, mounted up, and came back for a flyby in AF1.
When Ron said it was miserable weather, that hardly conveys the day. Standing out in the cold rain for 3 1/2 hours took me most of the day to warm up.
The week was worth every dime!

Sounds more like a Biden move to me.

Hopefully they'd tell 'em to land on the third dot down....

Cessna? Boeing?
Clyde Cessna links to Boeing in less than 3 degrees of separation.
It's kind of funny, since Cessna now owns Beech, they could go back to the Travel Air Company.

Reminds me of a story I once read on the internet.
Guy was flying around DC and AF1 was sneaking out to go to Afghanistan (I don't recall if it was Bush or Obama in the story) to meet with the troops.
As this was a covert op, no announcement had been made of the trip.
A GA aircraft in the area happened to see AF1 and asked ATC if that's what it was.
ATC responded "negative, that's a Citation", which was obviously deliberately wrong.
Pilot sussed that something was up acknowledged with a simple "Roger" and then watched the news to see what the heck was going on.
I'm sure I have every detail wrong (since I couldn't get google to show me the story again), but that's the gist of it.

Joking that everything is a Cessna.
I know the controllers at Fisk are better than that, but I just thought it fit better for the joke that AF1 would be doing a VFR approach

I got the joke!
Do I get a cookie? Or a lollipop?
C'mon, let's keep the jokes rolling, I am sure someone's got a good one up their sleeve ...

Or at least grab a selfie with her!
