US Vice President Mike Pence
 

Countdown To Mike Pence

Two USAF C-17A Globemaster IIIs arrived in Sydney around midday today, an advance party for the visit by US Vice President Mike Pence on the weekend.
The aircraft were 02-1107 and 03-3127, and the cargo was around 50 personnel, and several vehicles including an black SUV, black State Limousine, and a truck.

Both aircraft departed quite quickly after unloading, 03-3127 off Runway 34R to Brisbane, and 02-1107 of Runway 34L to Richmond. being empty, they both rotated very quickly.

The sun only popped out a few times when they arrived, and all except the first two images are taken through the new security fence.

Any idea on arrival time?

Nothing at the moment Darren.

Expected to be in town 4 days

Roads/bridge shutdown for motorcade access.

Arriving tonight.

Thanks Guys

Aircraft is a B747 Air Force 2.

I expect that the press won't be advised of ETA until close to arrival for Security.

(ie: Crew on standby to race out to airport to get shots)

The word is about 21:30

It's not an E4 or VC25, is a C32, 80002 is the bird.

Cleared to land 34L SAM014

Who is the second aircraft about 10 miles out currently?
