I’ve got an thought!! Instead of flying to the cities to tell the people what they already know, just send them a check for the costs of flying himself and the cargo plane with his limo. I reckon that would help those "poor" cities better then "were going to get you help" that 500K would have helped them better. Sometimes marine one even makes the trip

It costs the same to Glide Air force one to troubled cities in order to help people as it did to glide it to GW’s ranch to clear brush.

I am not sure the total amount it cost but it is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. My company at one time had a small Lear 35A jet for use and it cost us $6,000 just to spool up the engines and taxi, so that ought to give you some thought. Yeah a green president, thats a laugh, thanks!

I’ve read that the cost for AirForce One is $68,000/hour

With the cost of fuel going down, it may be less… here is a site that goes into a small more detail…

you should watch the documentary on the history channel it clarifies everything about what your asking and why its done….

The POTUS, represents all Americans, soo it is crucial that he be secured at all costs without expense. By the president visiting that state, he brought jobs, reckon about all the prep work, that went into the area, air port that he went to. I would guess that his one visit place, at least 200 americans to work for at least 2 weeks or more.
