SFC (Join to see) thanks for the update, glad he's safe and on his way to some well deserved R&R! Good read/share!
Instead, the Obamas touched down at March Air Reserve Base in Riverside, about 50 miles west of Palm Springs. They landed about 5:45 p.m. local time (8:45 p.m. ET), more than an hour after their planned landing time in Palm Springs.
The Obamas boarded the plane in Washington early Friday afternoon after Donald Trump's inauguration. After arriving in Palm Springs, the plane spent more than 30 minutes in a holding pattern before a decision was made to land elsewhere.
A small crowd had gathered at the Palm Springs airport under umbrellas to welcome them. They went home disappointed.
