Generally speaking, folks have absolutely no idea of the logistics involved with a Presidential move. Watch the footage of any Presidential arrival/departure and take note of the number of vehicles present. And think that most will not be seen. Then you have the comm gear/users, security and their gear, metal detectors, podiums, press corps, staff, and much much more. It is all airlifted by USAF in and out. Including the helicopters. Everywhere in the world he goes. Then think of the backups and hot spares in place as this mission is the highest priority missions we fly, bar non.

The president has also used C17's when the use of his usual aircraft are not practical (usually higher threat areas.
