When we lived in San Diego his job was in the middle of an air field. You had to cross the taxiway in order to get to his building. One day my friend had come down to see me and we decided to go to his job just to see what was going on. I had vaguely heard that the president was going to be Southern California that day.
When we got to the base there were a couple of barricades up but not too unusual. She was driving and I was giving her directions. I told her to turn right but there were some barricades up. We decided to drive down t see if there was another entrance we could go through. We didn't find anything so we went back to the street I had originally told her to turn on. It led to the taxiway so it was the only way I knew how to get to his work. We went around the barricades and we saw a huge airplane parked on the taxiway. The we looked up and there were armed security with guns pointed. One came up to the window and asked what our purpose was …. umm …. I explained how I wanted to pick my husband up from work.
Then we saw the writing on the side of the plane… United States of America…. we were looking at Air Force One. We apologized and quickly turned around.
