Right around 3:00pm today, Air Force One flew into Long Beach Airport with President Obama aboard as he begins his stay in California.  Roughly one hundred spectators lined the airport to catch a glimpse of the massive aircraft – which turned out to be easy as the ear-splitting roar of the 747 touched down.

The President then boarded a helicopter transport that could be seen departing the Airport and heading south.

Did you see it? Did you (more likely) hear it?  Tell us you stories and send in your pics!
