How many presidents have you seen in person?

Four for me.
Kennedy,
Nixon, and the
two Bushes.
I saw Kennedy from the Hilton on Airline Highway as his motorcade was leaving the airport. He was sitting on the back of a slow moving open convertible interacting with the onlookers. The scene was eerily similar to the motorcade in Dallas. I was about five years old but I can still remember it vividly.
I saw Nixon in his motorcade at the airport and the elder Bush in his motorcade in downtown New Orleans near O’Keefe and Gravier.
The only one I heard speak extensively was George W. Bush and that was last week at WWII museum. (Former or future presidents count).

I saw AF1 with Reagan in it when he flew over my house into Monroe. That's it.

None when they were President. I saw W a few years ago when I was pre-flighting my plane in Dallas. The folks at the FBO asked me what I intended, and I told them I was going to pre-flight and then split. They told me W was due and just don't do anything stupid. About 10 minutes later, when I was sitting in my cockpit his jet taxied up to about 150 feet away from me, several security guys got out and escorted W to a Limo that pulled up. That was my brush with glory.

I've only seen two, but they were the best two of my lifetime:
Reagan (he waved to schoolkids from the Beast with a handkerchief as we stood in the parking lot). He was on his way to give a speech at Lafreniere Park in Metry.
Trump (before he was President) and Empress Melania at a Town Hall in Milwaukee hosted by Sean Hannity in Milwaukee.

I saw GHW Bush give the dedication speech for the LSU war memorial. It was in October and I got a sunburn on half of my face. Not a pleasant experience.
