Who is visting the bay area from the Bush cab? Air Force exec
Gulf Stream 3 landed at Moffitt Field(former Navy Base) this afternoon while I was grocery shopping on base. The plane pulled right up to the tower in the VIP position. The secretaries(of State etc) and undersecretaries ride in these. Could be Schultz getting back from the big show at the WH yesterday. He lives near or in Palo Alto.

1. Had three black helicopters flying in formation...
I live in La Selva Beach and they fly over our house to get to the Presidio in Monterey. Scares the hell out of me everytime they fly by.

I don't know if they are connected in any way...don't know who is expected out here. With this group of treasonous rat bastards---your guess is as good as mine.

Peace.

4. Fort Hunter Leggitt is down the road and is a big special ops base,
so the black helos could have been from there. Delta force. A favorite hobby down there is hog/pig shooting. Maybe they have weekend plans for some, ah.. hmm.. fun.

5. Probably Schultz. When active Secs are in town we get a lot of
military jets over the Bay.
We are in Tiburon and they bring them in right over our house. Watch 'em fly around the Bay all day.
Loud as hell.

6. I live in San Francisco...
...and it makes sense that the Gulfstream was Schultz returning from the Sec of State photo-op.

According to this Brussels Tribunal report on PNAC once Schultz sat on the Gulfstream board:

"George Schultz (former Secretary of State under the Reagan administration, on the Boards of Bechtel and Gulfstream Aerospace)..."

Re. Schultz From Wikipedia:

George Schultz left office on January 20, 1989 but continues to be a strategist for the Republican Party. He was an advisor for the George W. Bush 2000 Campaign, and senior member of the so-called "Vulcans," a group of policy mentors for Bush which also included among its members Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz and Condoleezza Rice. His most senior advisor and confidant is former ambassador Charles Hill, who holds dual positions at the Hoover Institution and Yale University.

In August of 2003, Schultz was named co-chair (along with Warren Buffett) of California's Economic Recovery Council, an advisory group to the campaign of California gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger.

7. Also, Gulfstreams are the only civilian plane type allowed mil clearance
...to land at places like Moffett.

By the way...for Friday Fun Trivia Night...did you know these bitz o' trivia:

1. Air Force One may identify itself as a Gulfstream when it wishes to cover it's flights.

2. The full name of the "Hogan's Heroes" character "Master Sgt. Schultz" is "Hans Georg Schultz."
