President Hotdog Strikes Again AP
Early visitors to the
annual air show at Andrews Air Force base outside Washington got a surprise
display Friday from the nation's most famous jetliner.
President Bush departed
from the base aboard Air Force One under what officials called a "Max Take off"
— showboating for spectators watching the air show.
In a short, steep takeoff,
Bush lifted off in under 20 seconds, soaring past crowds of people, display
tents and all manner of parked aircraft. As it headed west, the plane came
unusually close to a helicopter flying in the vicinity.
