Military flyover
Was outside yesterday and spotted this group. Might have been getting ready to cover security for BO's Texas visit today. I understand he will attend the Bush library opening and also a service in West which is directly down I35 and the route these birds seemed to be tracking.

Maybe part of their support group. I saw a great show on History about Marine One, I think I remember there are like 15 other aircraft supporting the 3 "Green tops" that are Marine One.

Marine 1 went over my place a few days ago. Musta been a short hop. I gave a salute.
