King George was in Chicago this morning. You could see the tail of Air Force One from our office building, not to mention the bad-ass helicopters circling the ORD area. Out of curiosity, at lunch I drove down Higgins past one of the runways, and lo and behold: there was AF1, taxiing. It’s a big plane. Really big.
I was kind-of surprised at how open it seemed around the area, though I’m sure I was in someone’s sights as I reached my camera-phone to the window.
Took a not-very-good, car-moving shot:
Fun and depressing fact of the day: Air Force One has more square footage than my house.
