[MilCom] SAM 28000 landed at Patrick AFB moments ago

[AllanStern at aol.com]

   It is 8:34am EST (1334z), and SAM 28000 is the back-up acft for Air Force 
One today while POTUS is visiting Florida.  And SAM 28000 just gave those of 
us here at Patrick AFB quite a treat.  As he was preparing to land, at 8:25am 
EST, he was instructed to go around once due to a security situation at 
Patrick.  So he made a low pass over Rnwy 20, a left turn, and then flew his upwind 
leg over the beach. During this approach and landing he was in comms with the 
tower on 133.75.
    I was able to get two terrific photos of this beatutiful bird, the 
closest shots I have every gotten of a SAM in the air.  I will be uploading the 
photos to my website later today.
