I'm surprised they didn't divert to Honolulu for an easy visual approach!

I cannot believe that people on the plane were not aware of the missed approach. Even if you were busy doing something else, how can you miss the feeling of the plane transitioning to a climb and in the increase in engine noise?

The plane can run the country anywhere on the globe but cant land in fog.... Hmmm

Wow...a missed approach...why is this even considered newsworthy?
Is Air Force 1 not susceptible to missed approaches like any other aircraft?

Since the term overcast means 8/8 cloud coverage, what is "extremely" overcast? 9/8? Is someone trying to embellish a weak story?

And I also find this hard to believe ... "It's not known if Obama knew about the missed landing." First of all, if you don't know, don't mention it. But a 747 going missed is something that everyone feels, especially if you've grown accustomed to the excellent piloting that the President enjoys.

But for real enjoyment, have a read through the comments on the CNN.com site. Only a handful have anything to do with this article. I sometimes wonder what the Founding Fathers would rethink the whole freedom of expression concept if they knew where it would lead to.

I think extremely overcast means that it -200and less than zero vis.

My guess is that AF One has higher minimums than your average airliner. I have no doubt that the airplane is CAT3 capable, but putting it to use just to get into BDL? I don't think so.
