I arrive at the AFB “airport,” which resembles a small regional airport, but which also serves the President’s Air Force One. At the lounge I meet the entire travel party. I am trying to match names with the bios I have examined in the read-ahead.
A short introduction to the trip is offered by a three-star General, “we will not spin this,” “what you see is what you get,” “we have nothing to hide,” he announces in a matter-of-fact fashion. I like the General with his stereotypical no-nonsense approach. My experience from previous trips is that having a three-star General “on board” means that our travel party will have a pleasant passage. Finally, it is announced that we can board the plane, which apparently has a bathroom, replacing the plane that we were supposed to get, without a restroom facility!
