Any word yet on Saturday issues as I believe he is supposed to depart that day, and I will be arriving. I am hoping they take into account my celebrity and give me the same treatment smile

Lots of security in place for the President's arrival The President's plane is due to land at 3:30 today, for those in the area. But he is scheduled to depart straight for St. Barts. Then he will fly back to Grand Case airport, for those in the Grand Case area.

He is leaving Friday night. He is only in St. Martin for 4 hours after he returns from St. Barths.

I just posted what the police sent without editing it. Looks like tonight (Friday) though. The Dutch Side police aren't used to releases posting within 5 minutes of receipt!

He arrived an hour late so road closures might be pushed back as well.

Beautiful plane, nice video! Thanks! With the very complicated itinerary that he had today, no telling how things will work out tonight!
