READER: AIR FORCE ONE HAD PROBLEMS - BACKUP PLANE REQUIRED MANY REFUELING STOPS
In other words... the President was not able to stay on the schedule he needed to stay on... which means that more than likely there was a telephone silence due to all the compromised cell phone numbers that were on the two stolen telephones.
What happened during the time period that the President was out of touch with his administration?
(CBS/AP) The Boeing 747 used by the president as Air Force One was grounded in Ho Chi Minh City Sunday because of a mechanical problem, CBS News correspondent Peter Maer reports. The issue was discovered while the airplane was still on the ground in Vietnam and before President George W. Bush was onboard.
President Bush will continue his Asian trip, flying from Vietnam to Indonesia on a "back-up" Boeing 757, Maer reports. Many members of the White House support staff will shift to the White House press charter, a United Airlines 747.
The White House has not confirmed the nature of the problem with the jet. The U.S. Air Force hopes to repair the problem in time for the president to fly from Indonesia to the next scheduled stop, Hawaii, later on Monday.
If the 747 is not repaired in time, Mr. Bush's "back-up" plane will have to make multiple refueling stops because of the 757's more limited range.
