I do not know the accuracy of these numbers but it is beyond excessive--even if I do not know the exact number!

Some Scandinavian PMs bike to work or take the subway, the Romanian and Moldovan presidents just go by regular commercial flights. More or less the same goes for most European heads of state.

Isn't the idea here that those big SUVs came from the U.S.?
You could get them there on ships. But planes seem more likely.
Assuming, of course, which I don't, that this is reliable info.
But I hope this gives you a way to think about how planes might fit in.

(18,338 posts)But I counted 8 US tagged SUV's there, that's 4x Hercules aircraft or 2 Galaxy...
14? lol
I'll be happy to self del if you can link a legit source claiming 14 US transport aircraft.
EDIT: all 8 of those SUV would have been transportable in ONE C5-M Super Galaxy, the standard US heavy transport craft.

(40,940 posts)But it just looks silly. Our big fat cars can barely manage the right-hand turn out of the driveway. Plus one of those drivers was so unfocused he almost rear-ended the car in front of him.
And, Meloni
cool as a cucumber and super-stylish. America would lose its mind if it ever had a President who carries herself the way she does.

(6,624 posts)what a waste of resources. The more hated vance becomes, the dumber his faux pas.
