“Reporting for KidScoop Media, I had a really cool opportunity to go see President Obama while he was still President of the United States. He even waved to me! While we were waiting for The President to walk to Air Force One, I got to talk with Mayor Garcetti. I asked him “what are you going to be for Halloween?” He thought I was funny but didn’t know what he was going to be. But he knew what his little girl was going to be- a princess!

On Friday the 12th, I had a very special adventure with my dad. Me and my dad went to LAX airport to see President Obama and his jet, Air Force One. We went with a group called Kid Scoop Media. We had to wait for a long time. While we waited we met two bomb-sniffing dogs, Officer Jerry and Officer Nori. We also met the President’s secret service limo driver. He showed us the inside of the bullet-proof limousine. Even the window glass is bullet proof! Finally, five helicopters flew in and landed right next to Air Force One. In the last helicopter was the President. As he walked from his helicopter, Marine One, to Air Force One he waved to us. When he got to the top of the stairs we waved again. They closed the plane door. The jet engines started up and the plane turned around and headed towards the runway and prepare for take off. After Air Force One took off the helicopters and Osprey helicopters took off too. It was loud and awesome!

My Visit With Air Force One
**
“Last week I saw the president walk by at LAX, and I saw Air Force One, which is a special jet the president flies in. The presidential seal is painted on the plane. President Obama landed in a helicopter and walked onto Airforce One.
There were three other helicopters that are called Ospreys, and they fly with the president to keep him safe. The blades of the Osprey helicopter can go in different directions. They were very loud, and I could tell they were new.
There was a wide variety of Secret Service. They are people who keep the president safe. They wear suits and have a wire in their ears for communication. Air Force One took off, and dust blew in my face. It was kind of loud.
I was there to take pictures for Kid Scoop Media. I was there with my friend Kiran, who I have known since we were babies. My dad taught us both how to use a camera with a zoom lens. It was a great experience.”
