2. I wish he could have taken his train

But

[Crunchy Frog]

4. I get on my knees and thank God that he didn't.

I was having panic attacks before he abandoned that plan.

I'm glad he's alive and I hope he stays that way for a long time.

[bdamomma]

3. God

I was getting chills, Oh please let it be tomorrow. Let's get some sanity please.

5. Just heard on my local news radio station

*whew*

[lindysalsagal]

6. I didn't dare hope for this!

Couldn't be more different than the thug.

7. YIPPEE! HE'S HOME!!!

He's baaaack! can I say any more?

[True Dough]

8. Don't know if you all saw the reports in the media

But the Bidens are on a private plane because arsehole Trump denied having a government aircraft dispatched to pick them up, which is tradition.

Just unbelievably petty.

12. Seems safer, actually

9. As per CNN broadcast: Outgoing President customarily

provides a military aircraft for this journey to Wash DC by the incoming President. Rump, of course, refused to supply the plane. Kudos to the private owner who donated that beautiful plane for the trip.

11. Private planes must be NICE

When I travel by plane it seems like no one can wait to get out. When the TV shows these private planes land, it takes FOREVER for the people to come out.

There must be a bar or a sauna or something...

14. It was a Boeing Business Jet...

...based on the 737-700 (the “NG” model, not either the MAX nor the older model that went down in Indonesia last week). So, it isn’t any bigger than the average Southwest aircraft, but almost certainly has a custom interior with fewer, larger seats and a lot more legroom.

15. I have a relative that flies one

The owner is a Hollywood person (I’d rather not share who it is, but let’s go with a household name).

It’s a 737 and has less than 25 seats.

I’ve only seen pictures of the interior but have never set foot onboard. Super luxurious. I’ve flown first class often enough and it pales in comparison to the private plane.

I’d love to stowaway some day (ha!)


Edited to add: I’m pretty sure my relative wasn’t flying today, but they’ve flown former holders of the office before!

13. I feel a sense of calm watching this.

[Stinky The Clown]

16. When that wonderful family came down the stairs you FEEL that wind of renewal.

I am about 50 miles from Capitol Hill and I felt the zephyr all the way up here.
