President George W. Bush has taken his last scheduled flight aboard Air Force One -- a milestone he had to be reminded of.
After Barack Obama's Jan. 20 inauguration, Bush will again fly on the blue & white aircraft, but because he won't be president it won't be called Air Force One.
White House press secretary Dana Perino says she doesn't think "it had dawned on him that it was his last flight on Air Force One."
The president's last trip was to Norfolk, Va., where he commissioned the Navy's newest ship, the USS George H.W. Bush, named after his father.
After landing, First lady Laura Bush, their daughters, Barbara Bush and Jenna Hager, and her husband, Henry Hager, joined the president in thanking the dozens of flight attendants, maintenance workers and others who handle everything from food to fuel for Air Force One.
