Secret Service wouldn't allow it. F-18 only has room for two: pilot and pres. Secret Service insisted an agent be with him, so they needed a larger aircraft.
Is that in case the pilot turned out to be an Al Quaeda operative who would have flown the Prez to Saudi Arabia?
SOME DEMOCRAT IS GOING TO CRITICIZE THIS.
George Bush is going to fly to an aircraft carrier hundreds of miles off the coast of California today. He?ll be in the co-pilot?s seat of a Navy S-3B Viking. You must know that the Secret Service is going nuts over this one, and that there?s one slightly anxious Navy pilot sweating bullets in the ready room right now.
This little presidential adventure is creating quite a stir in the media and with many Americans. This will promote the image of a robust and strong leader .. an image that will resonate with millions of Americans, especially during a time when appreciation for our military is at an all-time high. So ? look for Democrats to try to find a way to bust this bubble. Maybe they?ll criticize him for taking the risk. Perhaps the word ?irresponsible? will creep into the dialogue. They might try to play off the?cowboy? thing trying to show that Bush is more interested with military playthings than he is in foreign policy. At any rate, they can?t allow this to go by without a challenge.

That article from CNN says that the plane was designated Navy 1.... I thought the plane carrying the President was always Air Force One, regardless of what kind of plane it was. Anyone here know anything more about this than I do?
why would the pilot be nervous? he flies the damn plane all the time, and his ass is in danger every time he does it. why would he care about someone elses life now all of a sudden? if anything happens they'd all be dead anyways.
What would have promoted the image of a robust and strong leader is if GWB had actually flown an aircraft in combat, instead of showboating now.
