Americans spent an absurd amount of money to fly Obama from Maryland to Miami and back

The world's most famous plane has an undeniably high operational price tag.

America's "flying Oval Office" costs taxpayers $206,337 every hour it is in flight, according to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) letter obtained by the nonprofit Judicial Watch.

And according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch, the "most expensive-to-operate Air Force One to date," flew President Obama from Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland to Miami and back (a total of 4.2 hours) on Wednesday, April 22, for $866,615.40.

While in Florida for four and a half hours, Obama toured the Everglades National Park, gave a speech about global warming, reboarded his plane, and arrived at the White House a little after 8 o'clock that evening, according to the president's schedule.
