The United States Air Force has established two new aircraft squadrons to support
the Obama administration's travel needs during the 2012 campaign season.
The 305th and 306th Expeditionary Airlift Squadrons were activated as subordinate units of
the 89th Airlift Wing on December 1.
The 305th will operate out of New Castle, DE, with 5 C-130H medium lift transport aircraft, 8 full sets of
aircrew, 60 maintenance personnel, and 12 operations personnel are
assigned.
The 306th will operate out of Andrews AFB, with 4 C-17 heavy
lift transports, 7 full aircrew, 60 maintenance personnel, and 10 operations
personnel will be assigned.
Operations for the two squadrons are to
commence in April 2012 and will run through the election. The aircraft and
personnel will be released back to their original units in late November.
These aircraft and personnel are being made available to the President
and his administration IN ADDITION to the normal access to all of the 89th's
executive transports and the VC-25 (Boeing 747) jumbo jets usually used as Air Force
One.
If you are not tuned in to just how much Obama over-uses Air Force 1 in his re-election campaign that started Jan 20th, 2009, check out this post from Welshtaff . . . http://www.sodahead.com/united-states/air-force-1/question-23...
Will you hear about this from the LSM, aka 'Obama's Homers' ? Not Likely.
This is no 'urban legend' as you can see at the link below.
