Sorry, Bush Snr, the first president. Yes, it was very weird! He was speaking at a conference the following day near Harrogate. Clinton had spoken at the same conference a few years before, but I didn't share a flight with him!

I don't know if they gave the bmi flight the call sign Airforce One that day!
Call sign Air Force One is used for any US air force plane that carries the president. Ie - though commonly mistaken - it's not the blue and white 747 looking bird by the passenger that determines it. So a former president would never fly on air force one unless he's hitching a ride with the sitting president.

He is not liked in the UK, so many people were pleased when he decamped to the US.

Unfortunately his tweets get a lot of attention in the UK media. How he is suddenly an expert on Arsenal and the England cricket team is beyond me.

A real celebrity this time - the lady in the flying start vid / on the envelope was working my aisle in j on the aus-lhr flight (just landed, bus gate of course). She really is a super star, superb flight.

You'd think he'd be in the CCR no?

Maybe he wanted to slum it for a change. You know, show he's down to earth and all that...

What makes you think we want him any more than you do? Trump might be a terrible candidate and human being, but if he promised he would deport Piers Morgan and build a wall to keep him out, I'd have to give a Trump candidacy a second look .

TheBARman (see wot i did there? ) yesterday was saying he sees him a bit at aus and comments from others around are usually on the we love his show for the us camp vs what a (insert expletive here) from brits waiting for the ba flight.... Whatever, typical celeb. Bad enough having to sit and watch that rhonda rousey or whatever blub on tv again and again.

I have been collected from the aircraft inbound from JFK and taken in a Land Rover (very posh) to flight connections.
