obama visit

[sammmo]

Does anyone know what time the US president obama actually landed in ireland on monday morning

[trionam]

I think it was around 9.40

the reason i ask is because i was flying on virgin flight 044 from las vegas and around 6 am i opened the window cover to look at the sunrise and there about a mile away was another 747 which flew along side of us for a couple of hours then vanished .. our flight went over cork then up the severn estuary to gatwick. i was thinking it could have been air force one..

Did it have a USAF escort?

It did'nt have an escort, I suppose if it was the presidents plane it would have been escorted wouldn't it I was surprised to see this plane so close..I couldn't make out the colours etc but the shape was definetly that of a 747..

It was probably KLM3523 to Frankfurt
