Reply to comment by ThatOneDude9991 in Air Force One flying in to Pittsburgh by ThatOneDude9991

Which is kind of funny since it collapsed the morning of the day he last visited here, and he made a detour to visit it then. No more bridges collapsed this morning right?

Also last time he landed at the Allegheny County Airport not PIT. (edit: this is wrong, he drove in after helicoptering into Allegheny County Airport which is why I thought that.)

Actually last time he landed at PIT too. AF1 is too big to land at the County Airport. He took a helicopter between the two airports last time. Today the motorcade drove in on the Parkway.

The long runway at AGC is 6500, you would not want to land a 747 there. It would be like the landing scene in Executive Decision. (Well, probably not as they don't park aircraft anywhere near the runway there.)

The 2 long runways at PIT are 11,500 feet long.

That day he came when the bridge collapsed he flew into the county airport. He brought the VPs plane (the Boeing 757) that time since it is able to land there. I remember because I went over there to see it
