'Air Force One Experience' from afar

We had hoped to get closer to the “Air Force One Experience” at Maryland’s National Harbor, but since we hadn’t bought tickets online in advance, they wouldn’t even let us into the parking lot just to take pictures. So we found a place to park nearby and climbed a little hill to get a shot of it.

This full-size replica of Air Force One is a refurbished Boeing 747 cargo plane that was floated down the Potomac River by barge to National Harbor, where tours are available to the public. For the amazing sight of it being transported, go to http://wtop.com/local/2018/09/air-force-one-experience-at-national-harbor-gives-glimpse-into-presidential-travel/slide/1/

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Is the President's entourage really so large that a jumbo is needed to carry them all? Or is this a prestige thing?

Lovely image Helen, It is a pity that you could not go see him up close it must be a clever technique. BV

That would cost a lot of money to make this replica!
