Romney's "bus"

$8,500.00 per flight hour

$179,750.00 per flight hour

I know why the cost is so high first hand because the secret service used to stay at the hotel where for
a summer job I was driving the airport van/limo and bellman.

This was in the 1980's

The SS would fly in a day before and bring the president's car plus SS vehicles.

The SS was always very courteous and polite to me and they always woulds tip me the same amount.

They didn't hang out at the hotel bar and turned in early.

Now they many times dispatch an airborne tanker from a military base in case of emergency.

With the press and assorted staff in including lodging and meals you can see where $179,750.00 per flight hour adds up.
