Good thread...the fake release was hilarious!!!
I think part of the reason Bush uses major airports when possible is for public visibility...that way the general populace can get a glimpse of his plane and maybe him...bringing him oh-so-much closer to the public...he does land at military bases sometimes though...for instance...when the President comes to the PHL area, if his function is in Center City, he'll use PHL, but if his function is in the suburbs (notably the northern ones), he uses NAS/JRB Willow Grove...
