Kyle: Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to talk to Mr. Ruiz. I was angling toward him as he walked out of the event, but I got picked by some TV guy, and he slipped out the door before I could talk to him.

Sorry anon, but I don't have the answers to your trivia questions.

All limos fly on a separate aircraft traveling in advance of Air Force One...or Marine One (the chopper).
