Military choppers over Naples for Bush visit RYAN MILLS Preparations for president’s visit obvious to some It was Wednesday afternoon that Rick LaRosa first noticed the military helicopters hovering on the south end of Gordon Drive. Shortly thereafter, the black Chevy Suburbans and the men in dark suits showed up, followed by about a dozen Collier County Sheriff’s Office motorcycles and cruisers, said LaRosa, who manages two properties in the 4000 block of Gordon Drive. A few miles north, a small crowd gathered to watch helicopters touch down briefly outside Gulfview Middle School on Sixth Street South.

Bush’s planned visit to Naples Friday, but the signs of those preparations were evident to those who knew where to look.

After touring flood-ravaged Iowa on Thursday, Bush is jetting in Friday for the private Florida Victory Committee luncheon to benefit Florida’s Republican congressional delegation. The luncheon is being hosted by Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart, R-Miami, and Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Miami.
