Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted July 27, 2006 Not the one in Subang though Caught this last weekend, I'm assuming Pieter is refering to this one? Yep, was referring to this one, but why not ? A lightly loaded BBJ can easily do a ROM-KUL stretch Although, last Spring, I saw a USoA Boeing 757 (VC???) with her in Berlin-Tegel, so might as well be that one...

Has anyone spotted her jet at Subang? I'm sure shortly there will be tons of information regarding the jet's whereabouts and its schedule... MW guys are everywhere! Yes, do keep everyone posted with any information of the whereabouts of the plane and its schedule. Hope to spot it at least when it departs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radzi 2 Report post Posted July 27, 2006 Yesterday in the news Condi was in Rome, and her ride was a blue (like AF 1) widebody. Probably a 757, therefore I expect it to be the same one. Will be nice if one of us can get a photo no matter what the quality is. Also heard on the radio just now the Iranian president (?) is also here for an unannounced visit. Again, what will be the ride? Where does it land? Lots of mysteries around.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oprah-too rich Barbara-Bush main supporter Hilary-Too ambitious Condy-Just enjoying life...................sending Bush agenda around the world I wonder if that means the plane she travels on is called Airforce 3, 4, 5 or 6? I don't suppose she gets to travel on the Presidential 747? When she's travelling with President, sure she can get the big jumbo. But, doubt Bush kind enough to give that women a 747 just for visiting( A good way to spend people money!!). Again, Bush like to travel even 100 miles trip he uses his 747, less than few miles, the big chopper is his ride If Bush come to Malaysia, here what KUL will see, 2 747 AF2, 757, 737.........and charter a few Btw, dunno people call her Condy, like it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
