Air Force One will land with the US President in Zurich-Kloten between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. today. After that, everything has to happen very quickly, because Donald Trump’s speech is already scheduled in the large congress hall at 11.30 a.m.
Depending on the weather, the president travels either from Zurich to Davos by helicopter or limousine. Since the forecasts are good, the helicopter is more likely. Both modes of transport are spectacular:
- Helicopter variant: A whole fleet of helicopters will be ready. Trump himself travels in “Marine One”, as the presidential machine is called. It is 5 meters high, 20 meters long and has a main and a rear rotor. In addition to the president, there is space for 9 other people. Several externally identical US helicopters accompany “Marine One”. They change positions during the flight so that it is not clear which president the chair is in. The Swiss Army escorts the US fleet with two or three Super Pumas.
