Air Force One in Springfield

I didn't have tickets to the Lincoln Association Banquet so I decided to watch Air Force One fly in. It's an impressive plane to see landing.




I took the above photo from the second floor of the airport. You can click to enlarge it.

A friend and I negotiated our way onto the tarmac after Obama left. It's funny how many places you can get into if you wear a suit and act like you're supposed to be there. One guy must have been trying to figure me out when he asked what the weather was like in Washington. Here are two smaller photos with me posing.
