Ken, the airplane is one of 2 Air Force Ones, that have been visiting our island (well.... Hilo Airport) every time our president is in the state.... The HI Trib Herald referred to it as the 'Doomsday Plane' on this visit...but usually it is not titled so drastic on the pretty picture press coverage it gets every time it visits Hilo (in all of years I lived near Chi-town, do not remember ever hearing about the plane(s)...much less the front page coverage it gets here... but think it must have visited OHare, &/or one of the other nearby airports....)
