US Vice-President's July 2016 Visit
 
Please delete if not allowed, but thought it might be worth tracking the aircraft coming in for Jo Biden's this coming weekend.

Reece perram 13th July 2016 04:55 PM

Do you know the date of arrival?

David N 13th July 2016 07:07 PM

Hi

I have heard expected arrival in Melbourne will be Friday to open the
Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre and visit the Boeing Factory, also attending the
Carlton v WC game at the MCG.
Meant to meet the PM in Sydney on Monday.

Reece perram 13th July 2016 07:28 PM

Alright, thanks

David N 15th July 2016 10:12 AM

Hi

Would anyone have updated information to what I put above?
No media are discussing his arrival today, so info I received isn't correct.

Does the other aircraft 28000 or 29000 travel with the VP or does one stay at Andrews for the President?

Biden presented an award at the ESPYS sports awards in Los Angeles last night (Wednesday local) so if he left straight after I would expect him to arrive Friday morning.

Thanks Greg
I thought the C-32 was only used in the U.S for the VP and overseas for others like Secretary of State.

Thought / Hoping one of the VC-25 would be used.

Vice President Joe Biden Visit Preparations

A midday arrival of USAF C-17A Globemaster III 10-0127 signalled the start of preparations for US Vice President Joe Biden's visit to Sydney on Monday.

The aircraft was carrying security personnel, two Secret Service Ford Surbuban SUVs, two 2009 Cadilliac DTS Black Limousines, and a Chevrolet Kodiak C5500 Truck.

The vehicles were escorted from the airport by a NSW Police motorcycle and patrol car escort.
