That's not including the cost of flying to the west coast. It was just for keeping the ship out for a day longer than planned, and for flying the plane onto it. I never heard a peep from them about the cost of either that or the fake turkey photo-op. Or, his jaunt over to Beijing to spend a week at the Olympics, getting drunk and groping the female beach volleyball players.
