Yeah, the other flights of Osprey landed 11 as well. I tried to get some video from work but it was still pretty far away. Cool to see though.

Trump will force McDonald's to change their name to Donald's. Or rename it with an executive order (with fries).

There is/was a C-130 flying around Kananaskis with the Flight Number OILR97.

This needs to be protested, too.

I think I just saw the marine presidential type helicopter fly over my house on the way to Kananaskis. Do they have several of them?

They have do have several of them, yes. I saw Marine 1 (if Obama was on it) flying in Hawaii years ago, and there were 3 in the formation. I think they fly formations of up to 5 for security measures.

If anyone is interested, Wendover on Youtube has a great video about how the president travels.

RCAF C-130 refueling a CF-18 to the west of the city today, over the course of the whole day we've had RCAF refuellers over the Kananaskis area.

The RAT being deployed and the gear seemingly stuck in the early stages of retraction make loss of power the likeliest cause, but we'll have to see what the investigation says.
