Confirmed, or wishful thinking? As far as I know Air China is keeping a couple of B747 in their fleet specifically to be used to fly the president around the world, so I would be very surprised (yet delighted) if they show up in a triple.

P.S. this might turn into the B747 meet with the US sending AF1 (and spare), Japan with at least one of the two (maybe both), China with their 747 (albeit a civil one) and the Korean one. I cannot recall an event with all these 747 bizjets together. Wondering if we also may see some from the middle east: Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain.
ehh, small detail: Oman and Bahrain are not invited to participate in the NSS!
United Arab Emirates might send a B747.

Expect testfilghts on Sunday.
If it is urgently required (like jrb), it could be done within 48hrs, but normally that is never done.
But time will tell,

Maybe some of those "new" names are not that new, but trying to conceal themselves a bit.
Maybe to avoid problems, for example with their "bosses"?
Remember strict rules?

I heard on the news Obama will visit Amsterdam next Saturday so logically he will arrived earlier than Monday next week.... Just wait and see..

Op een kaart van de gemeente Haarlemmermeer staat dat de A5 gesloten is van zondag 16:00 tot maandag 15:00 en van dinsdag 13:00 tot woensdag 05:00uur.
Heeft iemand ervaring of je de kisten van af de A5 goed kan zien?
