I just want to put out there, along with all of his other crimes, I have a personal gripe with Dick Cheney. Around 2005 I had a flight connection in Chicago and so did he. The entire airport ground to a halt so that his plane could take off but it stopped and sat for 20 minutes on the runway delaying the entire O’Hare airport. After Air Force 2 took off there was a mad dash to catch up after the forced half hour pause, and my luggage never made it onto my connecting flight and took 3 days to get to me at my destination! Fuck you Dick Cheney! You caused my luggage to get lost 20 years ago!
He has long been known as a heartless piece of shit. Literally his heart quit making it’s own rythym like a long time ago, I think maybe during this time period it refused to send electrical signals, urging his body to give up.
Secret service controls all of that for every POTUS/VPOTUS. The select which airport in each area works best for their security measures and the ground stops are standard and nothing the VP or any other passenger on the plane has control over.
I mean he could’ve just waited to taxi to the runway until he was actually ready to take off. But mostly I enjoy the humor in the inconvenience and applying petty blame
That’s just not how airports work when the secret service is controlling them. The VIPs have basically no say in how they get anywhere. They say where they’re going and everything is set up based on the USSS.

The VP could have scheduled a flight at like 2 am. They do know what happens to airports they use.
Yeah, no, but fuck Dick Cheney.
