This is so far my catch of the year, what an amazing visit to our nations capital!

Welcome to Canada, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden!
This marks Joe Biden's first visit to Canada as the president of the United States.
While in Ottawa, President Biden met with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau where they discussed a wide range of topics including Russia, Haiti, the safe third country agreement, NORAD and more.
While in Canada, President Biden addressed parliament and met with party leaders including the opposition leader of the Conservative party, Pierre Poilievre.

President Biden's visit was met by lots of security from both the U.S and Canadian governments.
This includes the Secret Service, the U.S Air Forces, the U.S Marines, the Ottawa Police (including from other cities as far away as Toronto), the OPP (Provincial) and RCMP (Federal).
Lots of the city was closed down, and most of the airport was under lock down during his short 27 hour visit.

During President Biden's stay in Ottawa, 2 Royal Canadian Air Force CF18 Hornet's and CH146 Griffons as well as RCMP PC12's and Bell 412's were providing air security over Ottawa during President Biden's visit.
The CF18's were being supported by the Royal Canadian Air Force CC150 Polaris and various United States Air Force KC135R Stratotankers for air to air refuelling.
President Biden visit saw lots of U.S Air Force aircraft in Ottawa. This included 6 C17's a few days prior bringing in all the equipment (Presidential armed cars, Marine One UH60 Black Hawk). The president arrived this 747 and was accompanied by a 757 as well.

Although President Biden arrived on this 747, he will be departing to New Castle, Delaware on the 757 (Possibly due to a shorter runway), because of this it was decided for the 747 and 757 to swap their parking positions. This is the 747 start up and taxi to the other side of the CRC.

This is a Boeing C32A is the U.S Air Force version of the Boeing 757200(WL). The U.S Air Force has 4. Of these highly modified 757 to transport high levels of U.S government officials, this does include the President.
This C32 will be operating as Air Force One tonight bringing President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden to Delaware.
This is the Boeing VC25A is the U.S Air Force version of the Boeing 747200B. This aircraft main role is to fly the President of the United States anywhere around the world. President Biden arrived from Andrews the day earlier onboard this 747. There are only 2 of these 747's in the world; 828000 (this one) and 929000. These classic 747's are expected to be replaced by 7478i (VC25B) by 2027.
Although the body is a 747200B, everything about this 747 has been modified and upgraded. The aircraft is powered by 4 GE CF6 engines (used on the 747400)! This aircraft is essentially a flying White House, with everything the President may need when travelling.
Known as "The Beast", these cars are the Presidential limo which are a
heavily modified Cadillac CT6. This current model entered service in 2018 and has so far been used to transport two U.S presidents. In addition to defensive measures to protect the president like bulletproof glass, smoke screens, run flat tires, the car also stores the president's blood in case of a medical emergency. These cars are driving fortresses designed to protect the president under any sorts of attack.
