Andrews Air Force Base

Photographer's Note

This is one airplane that will not appear to other air shows guaranteed. The Air Force One is not part of the air show schedule but it just happenned that President Bush was going somewhere and since the Andrews Air Force base is the home for Air Force One, the spectators of that day got a nice bonus.

Hai Nikos, nice capture of this rare bird. The crowds in front provide a nice composition for the photo.

P.S. Saw at least 3 specks of dust on the photo. Time to clean the sensor ? 8-)

Πραγματικά "σπάνια" φωτογραφία του αεροπλάνου του προέδρου των ΗΠΑ! Το έχεις "συλλάβει" πολύ όμορφα.

ΥΣ: Που είναι η βρωμιά που λέει αυτός από πάνω; Δεν βλέπω κάτι το ιδιαίτερο... :)

Nikos, a very cool shot and what an added bonus. Based off the previous shots I see why you had the UV filter on but it would have been fun to see what a polarizer would have done with that sky. I'm going to upload as a workshop the Presidents Marine 1 helicopter, but he wasn't in it at the time. Congrats on the shot though, Nikos.
