It's not every day this person gets to be featured on the AFB...
Here he is in Car Force One: The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!
Our west coast political correspondents Brent and Mary were on the scene today at the gas station when President Obama and his friends drove by. Here's some raw video, just in to AFB HQ!
This was the scene from Tower Command Central as Derek provided aerial surveillance of the events on the ground, which included Brent and Mary's posts on the street and the President's Marine One helicopter on the tarmac at Bob Hope Airport. From AFB HQ, Terri was on Speaker Phone One relating updates from her Twitter feed.
Marine One and Marine Two fly from Burbank to LAX, where Air Force One was scheduled to depart 10 minutes later. Only the President could get from Burbank to LAX in 10 minutes!
We're very thankful to all of our special correspondents for this in-depth coverage. We feel today's cooperative effort has set a new standard for journalistic excellence.
After today's events, Brent was quoted as saying:
"First I report on Tsunami warning sirens from Maui, then an earthquake in Okinawa and now the President of the United States. I almost feel I should retire from reporting because there is not much left to cover."
Brent has been on the scene of many exciting and important world events, and we anticipate that this is not the last of them. We therefore encourage him to postpone his retirement and remain the AFB's Most Special Field Correspondent of Everything for as long as possible!
