Lucky or unlucky, Air Force One, In and Out

Coming into town this evening, just before going downhill into Springfield on I-72, I just glimpsed Air Force One landing. After the Presidents speech, I sat out on our deck, getting colder and colder, then saw Air Force One take off, circle over our neighborhood, and head out east. I could see the tail lit up and a flag symbol. When President Clinton came to Champaign, I went to see him and Mr. Gore speak at the Assembly Hall. I saw President Clinton's Jet come in to Champaign, his badass motorcade, and then went south of town east of the airport to watch him leave. Some other people were out there and one had a police radio. We heard the Jet roaring after it slipped off the runway, trying to dislodge from the mud. We heard over the radio they were bringing in a second Jet, watched it come in, and then take off with the President. I am not one lucky enough to go to any Lincoln celebrations today, but I enjoyed seeing the big Air Force One coming and going. Darla
