Jacksonville surprised by Air Force One

Posted on 03 May 2009 by k. a. gardner

JACKSONVILLE — AIR FORCE ONE infuriated New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on April 27 with a low-flyover of the city, which petrified the entire New York metropolitan area, reported the Daily News of New York.

This in no way deterred Air Force One. The airplane simply refused to Photoshop itself and headed south on Interstate 95.

The customized Boeing 747 bypassed the White House, continuing  through the Baltimore tunnel, stopping rush-hour traffic.

Air Force One was next seen over  “South of the Border” on the North/South Carolina border terrorizing an  RV camp.

A Jacksonville resident reported the plane disrupted a flock of Sea Gulls over Trail Ridge landfill a short while later.

“I was afraid of another ‘Miracle on the Hudson,’” the resident said.

The Miracle on the Hudson refers to a flock of Canadian Geese, which accidentally flew into US Airways Flight 1549 on Jan. 16, forcing an emergency landing of the passenger plane, in which all passengers  miraculously survived.

The next sighting of the plane came from St. Augustine Beach, where a group of surfers anxiously texted and  Twittered reports to  local media.

NASA officials reported Air Force One landed safely at Cape Canaveral.

    Was its wing hurt when it took the top off the lighthouse?

      Mrs. Weirsdo,

      Thank you for your inquiry. I’m the Senior Graphics Designer and will be happy to explain visuals.

      NASA officials reported Air Force One landed safely at Cape Canaveral. What was not reported was Air Force One narrowly averted an imminent crash, forcing Jacksonville Boy Scout Troop 35 to “hit the deck” while touring the lighthouse.

      Also shown is AF1 circling historic downtown San Augustine.
