AF2 touched down at JBA at 0339 EST on Thursday April 09 after an uneventful flight.
There were no visitors to the press cabin.
Pool was held on board as the VP disembarked from the plane. His departure was closed to press.
On the return flight from Budapest, AF2 stopped at Ramstein Air Base at 2330 CEST on Wednesday April 08 to refuel. The stopover took around one hour.
Pool remained on board for the duration. Your pooler did not observe or receive notification of any movements by the Vice President during this time.
Please note pool report #8 contained an incomplete time stamp for the VP’s arrival to AF2 at Budapest’s Liszt Ferenc airport. The motorcade pulled up at 2129 CEST.
That concludes the Vice President’s visit to Hungary. It’s been a pleasure to be your pooler. Have a great day.
