I saw the plane flying over while at work in Munhall. I didn't even know he was coming to town today.

I looked it up after seeing the plane, Biden is in town visiting the fern hollow bridge today.

And then off to Philly for a Fetterman thing. Wonder what the carbon footprint for that is 🙄
Edit: downvote me all you want, politicians bitch about global warming all day long and then make day trips in a 747 and the hypocrisy deserves to be called out

Is it? Do you just want the president to hang out in DC all the time?
AirtimeAficionado t1_it3asre wrote
It’s simply way too hard to orchestrate a presidential visit without it, and to be fair it’s not like just the president is flying, with the senior staff and the press pool it is a fairly full jet with 200+ people for each visit. It’s not nearly as wasteful as something like a single billionaire’s private jet.
And to change it would require more attention than it’s worth, I’d rather have a president working on an emissions tax and brokering climate deals than focusing on fixing the emissions of a single jet.

I understand why, it's just not worth it for a brief visit.

I thought they were going to close of University Blvd and land it there.
James19991 t1_it3cch6 wrote
I agree with you. We are in a climate crisis, so we should be doing all we can to reduce emissions as much as possible. I don't see much of a point to this presidential visit either.
James19991 t1_it3dxny wrote
No, but I think it's fair to ask if this 2-hour at most I'm guessing visit is worth the emissions it will generate.

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.

This convo is great and all but none of this passion is expressed when people have to share the road with a cyclist or when someone mentions how much more economical bus/train travel is. Or how we need fewer roads because of traffic violence. This is all connected. Just wish everyone was on board with the concept of at least trying to reduce emissions / :
JeebuzCrust t1_it4zahl wrote
That flight cost the environment more than the average person does in year. Traffic violence is due to the sheer amount of bad drivers around. Cyclists don't obey the laws of the road but expect all the rules to protect them. Tons of people take trains and buses. I don't get what you're trying to say.

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.
Fill-Extension t1_it5r4q3 wrote
You’re all over the place with assumptions. Not sure why all the downvotes just for pointing out the inconsistencies of the frustrations being echoed in this thread.
My point is- when the public tries to embrace alternative transportation, because yes air travel is detrimental to the environment and tax payers pockets, everyone throws a fit and claims alternative transportation isn’t necessary. Or starts blaming cyclists for their own inability to maintain SA on the road. Or they don’t want to see their tax money spent on more logical infrastructure solutions to solve the “cyclists think they own the road” issue.
Come on, it’s only a healthy convo. If you just want to yell about something then go to therapy.

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

I believe this was just one leg of a longer journey which was why the plane was used, either way, though, there are still a huge number of people that need to travel with the president, and in some cases a larger jet makes sense and is the most efficient option for doing so. One 747 and one cargo jet moving 200+ people and equipment is more efficient than 2 757s and a cargo jet doing the same thing.
AirtimeAficionado t1_it8by7g wrote
Well I’m sure President Biden does agree with you, and would try to travel by train where possible, but the secret service just isn’t necessarily built for that and it is too much of a logistical headache (you have to secure the entire route versus just flying in already secure airspace) to orchestrate that versus Air Force One most of the time, which is why it was used. But I do generally agree with what you’re saying.
James19991 t1_it8f674 wrote
I get that plane is the easiest way for him to travel with everything that needs to be brought when the president travels, but to me it just felt like the visit was so short and brief it wasn't worth everything that came with it.
