Sunset at Air Force One
Dec 24, 2018 17:07:43 #
Outside the Gaylord Hotel at National Harbour along the Potomac River is the Air Force One "attraction". We toured it and were rather disappointed. It's a 747 that must have been decommissioned then painted to look like Air Force One. The real one is still flying and will not be retired for several more years.
Yet there was a positive. As we waited in the cold to enter up the rear stairs, we got to watch aircraft approaching Reagan Airport for landing. And the sunset was nice. This is shot on an Samsung S7.

Many thanks for the link. I would warn interested people that the exhibit on the inside of the aircraft consists of a wall of discussion (down the starboard side of the rear of the aircraft) about transportation for Presidents dating back to Washington, then a return wall up the port side of blown up actual images from Presidents starting with JFK up though Nixon.. Then there is a reconstruction of cabin space that looks like it could be inside a residence (not actual internal aircraft construction.) You do not get access to the upper level. On a 1-5 scale, I give it a 2.5.
