Carrie and I had heard in the news yesterday that Obama was coming to Southern California today. This morning, I heard that Air Force One was going to be landing at the Long Beach airport! As fortune would have it, I had to be at Toyota HQ in Torrance at 2 today to pick up a test car, and Obama was to land at 3! Talk about the stars being aligned.
It was a truly festive scene there. There were many places one could watch from; I chose the airport fire station parking lot, which was packed but had a great view of the runway.
And there he is…a little speck on the horizon.
Touching down!
And a nice landing amidst deafening cheers, whistles, and applause.
Talk about brightening your day! See all of the pics by clicking below.

Oh yay! I wondered what that day was like and had hoped I’d get to see some pictures since I missed it. Neat-o! Thanks for sharing!
