While we're on AF1 (not literally alas) Times Paris man and expert pilot Charles Bremner sez Do'ville runway ok for 747s. USAF wimps? #Obama

Apologies. I already tweeted about that AF1 switch. Am I obsessed? Yes. #Obama

After G8 Obama switches back to big AF1 in Paris. Wouldn't do to arrive in Warsaw looking like a mere oligarch. #Obama

Medvedev agreed with Obama at their bilat that Gaddafi has to go. WH: "This is a big deal. The reset is working."#Obama

It's Friday lunchtime and the G8 is so over. WH press welcomed aboard Delta charter with a rather succulent camembert. #Obama

But we have left now, returning to G8 for 90 mins, then Paris, where BO upgrades back to big AF1, then on to Warsaw for tea and vodka #Obama

Why be President? You don't have to drive 2 hours to your hotel at G8s. #Obama

Can u tweet a pompous geopolitical truism? Here goes. France makes trains, planes, automobiles. Britain doesn't. #Obama

G8 heads dining @ Villa le Cercle. Best moment today: Obama, Sarko, Medvedev walk rope line. Hands reach out for only one of 'em. Who?#Obama

Trying not to be dastardly, US officials say they don't want a new arms race but "the Russians don't believe us". What reset? #Obama
