The US President visits Canberra

Welcome Air Force One - Boeing 747-200B

Marine One - VH-60N Whitehawk

The Beast - 2009 Cadillac Presidential Limousine

 It's been eight years since the last US presidential visit, so it was very special to welcome President Obama to Canberra for a very brief visit...thankfully it was only a couple of days, as the F/A-18 Hornets buzzing overhead 24 hours a day was getting annoying very quickly...as was the traffic jams, one of which was the worst I've ever seen in a Canberra morning peak hour.

A wave from the President
Bye Air Force One
