During Bush's Pakistan visit, standby aircraft remained in Delhi New Delhi: The US Secret Service was so scared of terror attacks during President George W. Bush's visit to Pakistan last month that it declined to park the president's standby aircraft, a second Jumbo 747, in Islamabad.
According to a report in the current issue of India Strategic magazine, while Bush landed in his Boeing 747 Air Force One at the Chaklala air force base in the dark with window shades drawn, the standby Air Force One-B returned to New Delhi for its overnight halt.
Apparently, the US Secret Service did not want to keep both the aircraft in the Pakistani capital.India Strategic said that it is not known if the Air Force One-B actually landed in Islamabad or not after Bush left New Delhi on the evening of March 3, which was a Friday, a day that terrorists usually use to instigate violence after weekly Islamic religious prayers.It is also not known if only two or more aircraft were deployed for the presidential fleet, but the standby aircraft parked in Delhi left the next day to join the presidential fleet for its journey way back home.
