Biden and Obama's Planes Today

[Tom Goodrick]

I am up early trying to track the flights of Obama and Biden. They are supposed to give a joint speech today in Springfield, IL at noon. So I am checking KSPI from KMDW and KILG as well as activity at KILG and KMDW. I have not seen anything yet. Wonder if FlightAware will be able to track their flights. They should at least get Biden's. The Secret Service may have a lid on Obama's. Not sure if he's going to Chicago first or to Springfield.

I think I found the aircraft. There was a NetJets Hawker 800 that flew into New Castle, DE, (KILG) last night at 7:33pm from Chicago Midway. It has not departed and is not on the schedule yet for departure today. Net Jets do not sit idle for very long. It only takes 1:28 to fly from KMDW to KILG.

That Hawker was not it. This one has to be it. It's a Gulfstream 4 due to leave New Castle (KILG) at 10:55 EDT and arrive at Springfield (KSPI) at 11:40 am CDT. It was moved from New Philadelphia in the early morning. It is PWA444, owned by Priester Aviation.

It hasn't taken off yet!

The netjets plane yesterday, was one of the reasons why Fox news predicted that Biden was the choice for VP.

PWA444 has arrived in Springfield IL

Obamas big jet arrived earlier, but it doesn't show up on flightware.com

Maybe Obama's jet was VFR.

;D

Gulfstream. Of course. If I were a big-time candidate, I'd insist on nothing less.
