SAM- Special Air Mission. Traditionally, modern US former presidents depart on a final flight in their jet.
Former President Obama* headed for one of his favorite vacation spots, Palm Springs.
I just happened to be outside smoking when SAM 44 Heavy made its first approach to Palm Springs International Airport (KPSP)
Indicentally, you’ll notice the weather is terrible here. The first approach went missed, and as I write this, SAM 44 Heavy is holding over the Thermal VOR (TRM).
*damn that feels good to write
