Rubio, at the foot of his plane in Athens, Guilfoyle standing right there, on the Journal's report about her: "It's not the gospel."

Won't say if he'll look into it, either.

Wax in the ears is a choice.

Editorial cartoon. Marco Rubio, wearing a "SEC. RUBIO" pin, stands on the airstairs of a U.S. government jet made over as an ancient Greek ship, with a ram's-head prow, a sail and oars out the windows. He's tied to the railing with a rope tagged "NO COMMENT," his eyes are shut, wax plugs his ears, and he says "It's not the gospel." Three winged Sirens holding press microphones (AP, CBS, Wire News) sing from rocks in the surf: "The $100K?", "The donor?", "An investigation?" A soggy newspaper reads "Journal reports ambassador sought $100K from donor — she denies it." Kimberly Guilfoyle, wearing an "AMBASSADOR" pin, waves goodbye from the tarmac with the Acropolis behind her. Caption: "Odysseus had the right idea."

Yep he does. You can see him veer to the left away from the line on the pavement that leads to the airstairs, then he has to correct at the end to get back on that line.

He's scared of stairs, so if It Happens, there's a good chance of him going ass over hairpiece down a flight of airstairs where we can see it. So that's nice.

For the first time in 11 years, Xi Jinping has arrived in the US. Trump and his wife greeted him personally at the airstairs.

Study: You’re More Likely To Have An Accident On Ryanair’s Retractable Airstairs
While retractable airstairs aren’t unique to Ryanair’s Boeing 737 aircraft, the airline group is certainly one of the largest users of this feature. Indeed, aircraft flying around with their own airstairs allows for quicker boarding and offloading, particularly at remote stands - where other aircraft would need to wait for airport services to arrive.But a study by Italy’s agency for flight safety has concluded that passengers who have used them have faced a significantly higher risk of falling than those using stairs provided by airports. The post Study: You’re More Likely To Have An Accident On Ryanair’s Retractable Airstairs first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

@fenixsim.com Hey so I’m sure yall already knew this, but the ACJ320 family comes with airstairs from factory. Does yalls A320 have them as an option, or are you looking into adding them as an option? Would be minor but pretty sweet :D

pretty sure that was Hegseth's regular plane++ (and for overflow) -- he was shown walking up the airstairs .. which made it look "normal" ..

++ the VP, First Lady, SecState use the same variant of the Boeing 757 .. four in inventory

(cont) The 787 managed to get airborne and climbed to a safe altitude, where it dumped fuel and returned for a fly-by and a landing on rwy 26R where it stopped at taxiway A6, 2 hours after take-off. All passengers deplaned on the spot via mobile airstairs. Runway 26R/08L remained closed for hours.

It's too bad that couldn't have lost that cart with 🟠💩 in it over the Atlantic.

The coverage was basically that it happened and how he passed through Air Force 1 to a door on the other side of the aircraft into the card, then on the US tarmac he passed through cart to Air Force 1 to the airstairs.

The one thing he's got a firm grip on? The railing on the airstairs.

🛫 Travel note 22: Back at Dobbins

Motorcade pulled into the gate at Dobbins ARB at 1505 and was planeside by 1708.

POTUS boarded via front airstairs at 1709.

He descended the airstairs carefully (it is windy), shook hands with greeters and proceeded directly to a waiting armored Cadillac Escalade which departed in a motorcade at 1040. (2/6)

POTUS disembarked the helicopter at 0948, returned salutes from the Marines and an Air Force greeter who accompanied him to the airstairs while they engaged in some conversation. (2/5)

My favorite is that the IIlyushin Il-86, the first Soviet wide body, had not built-in airstairs for ground loading, where passengers were expected to walk into the lower level and hand their "checked" baggage into the cargo hold before proceeding to the main deck.
