"YOURS TRUELY" (me) .... was fortunate to enjoy the very rare opportunity of getting "UP CLOSE AN PERSONAL" with both USAF operated B747-200's .... when CLINTION came to New Zealand during 1998 for the APEC conference. I was press-ganged into Security for that week-long event (due to my long-standing associationm with the NZCAA, Airport Company, Police, Customs, airlines .... you name it) .... which also saw a number of USAF C5 movements in support of CLINTON (talk about travelling heavy/excess baggage ) and untold other rare stuff operate through NZAA at the time. I even managed to get 1 photo of myself with CLINTON too. Mark C AKL/NZ

I had a teacher in high school who's son flew the C-17 that carried the president's armored limo around. Suffice it to say, the "stout construction" on that car alone meant it was one of the few things in the cargo bay of that aircraft.
