RUMINT: AF1 - crew change. Literally just happened.

Paranoia. Setting in.

Caligula.

W/o saying too much for obvious reasons, know a bit about AF1 workings. For the most part, a crew shakeup would be big departure from norms.

Crew spend years slogging (proudly) towards positions. Flight deck is like a royal lineage so that would be nothing short of earthshattering

1. More freaking rumors saying things we want to hear.

Confirmation? Corroboration? Can we have some of that, please.

This rumor sounds like bullshit. Smells like it, too.

RUMINT = RUmor INTelligence. The two things are contradictory. Rumors are just rumors, and rarely are they intelligent.

4. Rumor, clearly stated in my subject line. Thanks for the kick.

I will note that rumors from the jester carry more weight (for many) than rumors from others.

Feel free to trash such threads. Or, continue to play at DU police, fine, opinion duly noted.

7. You can't speak to our self-appointed grandfather like that!

Grandfather, can we sit 'round the campfire tonight and listen to tales of wisdom? We promise to be good and wash the dishes after!

2. Added a couple tall leggy blondes in short skirts to bring him his Coca-Cola?

3. He flew today in a USAF C-32 (normally AF-2)

...not the normal VC-25. However, the flight from Andrews to Lynchburg, VA is fairly short.

6. That's usually because of smaller airports

Obama did the same coming to Asheville.

5. Maybe 45 took the bait.... Twitter posts posited that Obama had pro actively requested new AF1 crew

Of persons Trained to effectively handle any attempt to commandeer plane...

Just in case 45 decided it was time to seek asylum (not the kind we think he needs...) in Mother Russia.

One would think all AF1 crew would already be trained for handling such threat...
so it seems strange that a change would be necessary...but what do I know?

So, perhaps 45 & his minions came across those posts as well....and felt compelled to act

If so, they just set themselves up for all kinds of
"Fun with 45" shenanigans....

8. 1 crew per jester?

How many jesters are there in the White House?
