AF1 landed at King Khalid International Airport at 9:49 am local time (Wheels up from U.K. at 1:02 am GMT).
No gaggle on the flight.
The flight was uneventful — until roughly the last half hour when Saudi F-15 fighter jets appeared on both sides of AF1., cruising along in close proximity. Two were visible from the right side of the plane and three from the left. Later a third joined those on the right.
Quite the escort.
