Big Bird Leaves Boise
August 24, 2005 
Hundreds of Boise people eager to get a glimpse of the most famous plane we all own and allow George Bush to ride on created a traffic jam at the Boise airport along Orchard and I-80 Wednesday. There was at least one car crash on the freeway, but it is unknown if it was releated to the distraction created by the Presidential security.

Hi, Dave: I was doing some volunteer work at Gowen Field yesterday afternoon and had a good look at the plane leaving Boise. It took me 15 minutes to drive from Gowen Road to the freeway overpass, mostly because many of us on the main road were allowing the parked sightseers to merge into traffic. Folks were being very well-mannered, I’m happy to report. Your readers might be interested to know that many in the audience at the Idaho Center were from Mt.Home AFB and were required to show up. GWB just loves those audiences who must clap when prompted! What a guy. I really enjoy your website, by the way.
