Decider In Chief

We were walking through our neighborhood when Kelly pointed out an aircraft flying extemely low. It was a Boeing 737 on final approach to RDU Airport, sporting a yellow-and-white livery I didn’t recognize. It was flying above the legal 500 feet but probably below 1000 feet, well below most approaches.

Now that we’re back it makes sense. The Decider In Chief is in town. The plane – flying lower than Bush’s poll numbers – was probably minimizing its exposure for security.
