If you guys didn't know, the President recently finalized a huge nuclear deal with India. It's supposedly the biggest civilian nuclear deal ever agreed upon between two countries.
I believe he was in India for a total of four days, most of which he spent in New Delhi. On the last day of his trip he went to Hyderabad to talk to some Indian officials there-not exactly sure who they are.
Both Air Force Ones flew into Hyderabad Int'l. within 15-20 minutes of each other-the second of which the President was on. At that time I didn't have a good place to see what was going on but shortly after landing he took off in a H-60 helicopter (see pictures) and our squadron was there to support that mission. One of our planes took off with both H-60s (he needs a back-up) as their support and three of our planes went directly to the landing zone, to the best of my knowledge. I think there were two stops that they made so that he could go and have his meetings and such.
In the end, the entire mission went quite smoothly and our planes cooperated greatly with the exception of one of them having an electrical component take a dump.
I've got a fair amount of pictures so I'll include them.
