Timothy 1 Report post Posted April 18, 2014 odd question but where do presidents put up on visits like this, luxury hotels? Â Â POTUS does not just occupy a room or suite. They would occupy the whole block and the secret service makes sure that there are no threats from neighbouring buildings too. Â I'm surprised they don't go for American chains like Hilton or Best Western. Â If POTUS is in Europe, its typically Hilton all the way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obama has yet to arrive and our holier and holy people are already protesting about his visit to Malaysia. Why won't Obama's security outfit be not worry in this tiny peninsular of Malaysia?  If you see any road diversion in the coming days running up the arrival of Obama, that will surely provide some clues as to where he will stay. But then, it could be a decoy as well. Never know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KK Lee 5 Report post Posted April 20, 2014 On the trip, Obama will meet with each of the leaders of the four countries. Two of the stops -- in Japan and the Philippines -- will be official state visits, meaning Obama will attend formal dinners with Emperor Akihito in Japan and President Benigno Aquino in the Philippines. Â The trip also will include tours of the Meiji shrine in Tokyo and the National Mosque in Kuala Lumpur, meetings with business leaders in Japan and Korea, and a look at a new electronic vehicle in the Philippines called "the Comet." Obama will lay a wreath at the national war memorial in Seoul. Â The town-hall event at Malaya University will be with young leaders from 10 Southeast Asian nations, and Obama also will meet with civil-rights leaders in Malaysia, as the United States attempts to promote democratic values.

flee 5 Report post Posted April 24, 2014 Why must the aircraft only land with ILS? Better margin of safety, just ask the Asiana pilots! Â Seriously, I think this was discussed before - ATC discourages Runway 33 approaches as there are concerns about conflicts with KLIA traffic. Â Very often, aircraft taking off from Runway 15 need to hold for some time (over 10 mins) before they get clearance due to heavy traffic in KLIA. I saw a Malindo ATR72 giving up, backtracked and took off from Runway 33! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
