AF-1 information related to the following airports:
IND- Alright, I'm sure AF-1 has been here, because of the following article which I provide in it's complete form. Unless it's been removed by the time you read it, you can find it at http://www.wishtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=1770135. If you read my hatchet job on the US Bureau of Prisons, you know that I've stated before that the Internet can be so surreal. This is one of those moments. Can anyone out there explain to me what the fuck "organic meat" is supposed to consist of? Sorry for ending that sentence on a prepositition, grammar police:
"The Centers for Disease Control and the U.S. Surgeon General have issued warnings that Americans are getting fatter by the moment. Are we are losing our resolve to get healthy and lose some tonnage?
It's time for Americans to become proactive in one of our toughest battles - the battle of the bulging love handles and the dreaded poochy tummies.
What we need is a sound recipe for a healthier lifestyle, and who could be more qualified than a survivor of terminal heart disease who lost 100 pounds and has walked the walk?

OSIN- Is this fucked up or what?! Thanks, Chef Fowler, for letting me know you cater to AF-1 when it's at Indy International. At least, you used to, but not now. Anyway, what is it about this ARTCC that loves to tell everything? Other ARTCCs are tight-lipped bitches. Here's an article from 2002, although dated, tells me that AF-1 has been at the other airport in this ARTCC, that being CVG. You can read it at http://www.cincypost.com/2002/10/08/bair100802.html. It was written by Kevin Eigelbach (good German name) for the Cincinnati Post:
A family-friendly Air Force One
Special tour for ex-employee
For Paul Valerius, it was the experience of a lifetime - sitting in President Bush's chair, inside his private quarters on Air Force One. (OSIN- Quick, check for boogers under the seat, George! >:P)
"It was the greatest feeling," the Liberty Township resident said. "It was almost indescribable."
The communications equipment aboard the plane awed him. "It was too many buttons to push for me," he said.
Valerius and his family toured the plane Monday evening at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, while the president was speaking in Cincinnati.
His wife, Janet Barker-Valerius, was the secretary to the presidential pilot aboard Air Force One from 1983 to 1988. She arranged for the half-hour tour through some friends who still work on the plane.
The latest Air Force One is a 747, much bigger than the 707 that Barker-Valerius worked on.
"We used to have a nice airplane. This one is gigantic," she said. But she added that it's just as beautiful inside as the one she worked on.
She said that inside, it looks very much like the plane in the 1997 movie "Air Force One," which starred Harrison Ford as an extremely resourceful president (OSIN- unlike the current one). Except for one detail, that is - there's no escape pod.
"People ask me that all the time," she said.
OSIN- Dammit, Janet, stop talkin' so much. Did you notice how she "hyphenates" her last name? Them's Democrat ways! I'm amazed they didn't push her out one of the escape hatches. And they actually let her husband, who doesn't need dual last names incidentally, push buttons indiscriminately?! Putin, take note! What I wonder about is did George know this and when did he know it? My god, this is so insane! The Russians would've killed such folk who came within 10km of Putin's plane. In closing, here was another piece written by the same news organization for CVG:
HEBRON - The parents of Spc. Matt Maupin, the Clermont County soldier held captive in Iraq, were aboard Air Force One for a private meeting with President Bush before he left for Washington Monday night.
Carolyn and Keith Maupin "were very comforted by what the president had to say to them," said Maj. Mark Magalski, the Army family assistance officer who has aided the Maupin family since the 20-year-old Army reservist was taken captive by Iraqi insurgents in a convoy assault on April 9.
There has been no public information on the status of Maupin since April 16, when a video showing the soldier surrounded by hooded gunmen aired on an Arab television station.
Magalski, who was present at the meeting, said the Maupins spent a half-hour to 45 minutes with the president on board Air Force One at the DHL terminal at Greater Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport.
Bush was in Cincinnati to attend a $25,000-per-couple fund-raiser in Indian Hill - an event that raised about $2.5 million - and to visit Talbert House, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Mount Auburn.
After meeting with the president on Air Force One, the soldier's parents walked down the rear ramp of the plane and left the airport without talking to reporters.
"From the day this ordeal began for the Maupin family, President Bush has pledged personally to do everything in his power to bring their son home," Magalski said."
OSIN- Maupin was eventually killed by his captors. Bush continues to attend multi-thousand dollar fund-raisers.
