President Biden spending the weekend at his home in Rehoboth beach

If you look at a map the distance between 1600 Pa. Ave, and Camp David is just about the same as the distance between 1600 Pa. Ave. and Rehoboth beach.
Why do they fly him from the White House to Andrews AFB in a helicopter Then AF#1 to Dover , then back in the helicopter, from Dover to Rehoboth instead of just flying him all the way to Rehoboth, in that helicopter instead of trying to wear out AF #1 flying it for 30 minutes and wasting all that fuel.

Why can’t he just take Amtrak like he used to? That would save lots!

Why is he still squatting in the White House?

Why is he still squatting in the White House?

Because the dangerous dogs have taken over the Delaware residence- too unsafe for him to live there.

This wouldn't be much different than what most of our Presidents do. Tempest in a teapot.

It's all dependent on the weather, length of runways and passengers on which mode the Presidents take. They'll have a C-32 or even the VC-25 on back-up standby for the helos.

If it’s good enough for Boris it should be good enough for Biden!

 

[HemiHauler]

After watching the entirety of Trump’s base sit silent as he spent like a drunken sailor for four years, I doubt anyone will buy your feigned outrage that Biden isn’t taking the Amtrak.

Short hops like that are bad for the aircrafts fatigue life. It might be faster to just go by help the entire way. The airframe has low hours but high fatigue cycles from pressurezation/depressurization significantly more often than long trips in relation to flight hours.
