Greetings from the Charlotte Park area of West Nashville near the old 
Cleece's Ferry and across the river from Bell's Bend.
After I saw Air Force One taxi for take off from Nashville on TV this 
morning, I went outside to see if I could see it fly over West Nashville on the 
way 
to the next stop in Iowa.  Apparently I wasn't the only one looking as I 
suddenly noticed a large bird flying over the Bell's Bend area.  Through my 
binoculars, I determined that it was a gorgeous bald eagle, presumably the one 
that 
we've seen in Bell's Bend before.

Although I didn't see Air Force One anywhere near, I suspect that America's 
symbolic "First" bird may have had a good view of America's "First" Air Force 
jet from its vantage point high in the sky.  It really did seem to me to be an 
amazing coincidence.
