Air Force One missed the approach on its landing earlier today at Bradley Field, Connecticut, after what the FAA called "below the minimum" visibility forced the pilots to circle the airport once before successfully landing the aircraft. ABC News reports that "the attempt was not a touch-and-go or dramatic maneuver," but something that "happens all the time, even for commercial and military flights."
An aviation expert explained that "it simply means that the pillar was uncomfortable completing the approach due to visibility, cloud ceiling, or any number of reasons." Yes, or the plane could still be out of peanuts from Cheney's exploits and Barry just needed a fix. President Obama was on his way to give the commencement speech at the US Coast Guard Academy before speaking at a Boston fundraiser.
