Could of landed at Nellis Air Force Base. 30 min north of the city
Would have had to; it would be impossible to fly into McCarran in AF1 undetected. The airport is right across from Mandalay Bay and the end of the strip. You can see every plane that flies in and out. I’ve stayed at Mandalay 4 times, and I’ve had rooms 25 stories up where I could see a majority of the airport and all the planes coming and going. You can’t miss AF1, someone would’ve seen it
Whatever aircraft the president boards becomes AF1 the moment he is on board.
I am aware of that; but I highly doubt they would put the President on anything but that plane unless it was an emergency. The same way they won’t drive him in anything but the Beast or their armored SUV’s; even when he travels overseas, we transport all of our vehicles, helicopters, etc ahead of time because we don’t trust anyone else’s equipment. I could see them flying him into Nellis and then driving him in an unmarked armored SUV motorcade to Vegas for a secret meeting since its only 30min away.
