Ever since the Kennedy era, presidential planes have employed a simple yet distinct white and blue paint job - but the current president's aircraft is anything but modest. The Boeing 757-200, which is owned and operated by Trump and referred to as 'Trump Force One,' is unmistakable due to its enormous, blocky logo advertising the presidential family.
We wanted the day to reflect the city we love-elegant, timeless, and full of character-while giving our guests a formal and unforgettable experience in the heart of the nation's capital.
Charleston is known for having something in bloom year-round and for highly variable weather in late winter, but the wisteria really marks the start of our true spring. You'll start seeing and smelling these purple blossoms mid-to-late March, and, generally, the last week of March is the peak.

In 1840, when Francis Preston Blair and his daughter came across a "mica-flecked" spring near present-day Georgia Avenue, he fell in love with the land and built a summer home there-calling it "Silver Spring" after the minerals he spied in the water.

This is one of the biggest holiday weekends of the year, as celebrations of Mardi Gras, Valentine's Day and Presidents' Day overlap and blur. (Sadly, no one organized our dream soiree with a brass band performing for singles dressed as Babe-raham Lincoln and other sexy presidents.)

He'll also likely be heavily involved in the acquisition side of things during the recruitment period, alongside general manager Adam Peters. That's for the future. For now, his tweaks to the coaches working under him are saying a lot about how Jones plans to go about his business in Washington.

[THN] Congrats to Martin Fehervary on being named one of the alternate captains for Team Slovakia! [TSN, Daily Faceoff] It's hard to believe that the last time the NHL took part in the Olympics was 12 years ago - and 12 years ago we all got to see the moment T.J. Oshie became T.J. Sochi. [THW]

Multiple sources said that defensive coordinator Brian Flores' unusual decision to let his contract lapse, before signing a new deal that will pay him more than $6 million per season, was based in part on his unease with the direction of the front office. When asked last month if he wanted to remain with the Vikings, Flores noted that he loved working for the Wilfs and with O'Connell, and loved living in Minnesota, but did not mention Adofo-Mensah.
