I heard that President Biden is on his way to GA to visit President Carter. Maybe this was him?

(18,486 posts)If two of those helicopters flew over your house with the president in the area, those are surely his helicopters!
If he's not there yet, they may be heading to the air field to meet AF1 and they may fly back over you with him if you're on the flight path.
Cool!

(5,832 posts)They fly close to small airports along the way in case there's a need for an emergency landing. There's one a couple of miles from my house.
When Bush and W were presidenting, and more recently, the former guy, I always saluted them with my right middle finger as they flew by.
