What's up with that? At 10:25 a.m. EDST this morning (somethingZ), I
heard a distinctive sound and looked up to see a plane that I took the be
the one that is often referred to as AF1 fly over the northern part of
Alexandria and southern Arlington County. A few minutes later, I saw
another plane that I also thought to be a 747 fly over the southern part
of Alexandria, unless it was the same plane that had looped around in a
clockwise fashion making another pass.

While listening to the 11 a.m. news on the radio, I heard that Bush was
in Buffalo. He could not have been on the plane I saw; it would have been
necessary for him to depart earlier.

I didn't have my scanner on, so I can only guess that what I saw was tail
number 28000. That's the 747 normally used as AF1, right?
