Heard about that on news-should be worth a look to see what else comes in other than the 757

-I missed it last year when Bush was here,was so excited about seeing Air Force One I forgot to wait and see the B757 and C-17 depart after it :-[ DOUH!!!

The article says next week so that could be the 11th/12th or the 19th/20th  ???

She's also heading to Dublin where theres probably a better chance to photograph the 757.

I don't know if I got this right or not, but what I heard was London tomorrow, Dublin Sunday and Belfast Monday.
B757, I hope this is correct.
But she is also due to be in Zurich saturday as well, sounds like a whirlwind tour.

I understood this Sunday arrival and Belfast(Stormont) on Monday. Possible trips to Londonderry/Derry and Enniskillen rumoured. Possible helicopter so maybe C17.
