Appears to be a mix, Meloni may have been a helicopter and Starmer went into a CH-47 chopper too. Carney appears to have gone motorcade. And we know Trump will be in Marine One with the Osprey escorts.

Seeing a Mountie carrying a German flag is kind of weird.

Germans brought half of Berlin.
Came out of both exits, no waiting for the Chancellor. Some randoms that came out of the main exit, then awkwardly shaking hands with the group while others went behind them.

Is that helicopter still running? Did they not turn it off or the feed on a loop or something? That must consume a ton of fuel.

You don't think these leaders worry about climate change or taxpayer expenses, do you?

It'd be interesting to see an end-analysis of the Carbon and Cost of these meetings.

I don't think it's unreasonable to think that total costs for all countries combined doesn't exceed $1.5-2 billion?

Looks like Trump just left his (White) house to board a chopper.

I guess it depends on the winds. Wondering when and where would be the best place to see Air Force One land. Hopefully will still be daylight.

We headed in to meet our crew at Bowness and watched the Chinook headed west as we drove in. Watched it return pretty much over Baker/Bowness as it came back in.

Just stopped at the Westbrook Walmart briefly and they brought a motorcade up Bow Trail. Couldn't see which world leader it was though, from where we were parked. Bow Trail seems an odd choice but I suppose they're using different routes every time.

ATC and flights having a lot of "fun" right now with the weather rolling through. The second Japan Air Force 777 conduct a missed approach for runway 35L.

Sounds like ground ops just shut down due to lightning. Fun times.

Trump must have just landed because all of my windows were just shaken by an impressive lightning strike.

Suiting weather for the world leaders to arrive and discuss the end times. Nailed it, mother nature. No notes.


Well, wait, maybe just one really big F-150 sized hail in the right spot.

Any ETA on His Trumpness?

Thinking of driving up. But would also be cool to hear ATC.
