[Geysers] Obama visit to YNP

[Freund, Udo]

Should be quite a sight to see a 747 arriving & leaving from Gallatin
Field (Bozeman) and maybe even West Yellowstone.  Runway lengths are
only 9002 & 8400 feet respectively.  Very doable for that aircraft with
a light load even at those high elevations.  I doubt the Pres. party
would switch to a G5 for this trip, but that is an option.  Regardless
of the aircraft used, it's always Air Force One when the Pres. is
onboard a fixed wing and Marine One when it's a helicopter, which is I
guess another option for the trip from BZN to WYS.

Will the webcam follow the entourage around the Upper Basin Saturday???

Here's the official announcement:
The Federal Aviation Administration has announced temporary flight
restrictions in and around Bozeman during President Barack Obama's
visit.

The president is scheduled to arrive at Gallatin Field Airport at 12:30
p.m. Friday. The flight restrictions start at noon and continue through
Saturday afternoon.

A similar restriction is in effect for the West Yellowstone area on
Saturday, again, due to Obama's visit.

Thanks,
Udo Freund
