United States President George W. Bush waves to a small crowd gathered at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, California on Thursday, July 17, 2008 as he prepares to board Marine One to head to Napa for a Republican National Committee fundraising dinner. President Bush spent part of the day in Redding taking an aerial tour to inspect fire damage.
