Air Force One?

As I was waiting for the shuttle bus this morning, I saw a plane, and a man outside with me said that it was Air Force One. This afternoon, I searched on Bing, and learned that President Biden had flown from Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland to Wilmington, Delaware this morning. I don’t know just where in Maryland Andrews is, or how its runways are oriented, but I suppose that Biden’s plane could have taken off from a runway not pointed directly at Wilmington, and done some turning over Northern Virginia to reach its destination.

That doesn’t necessarily prove that the plane we saw Air Force One, but it may have been.

There are websites where you can track aircraft and ship traffic...

That said, I managed to excerpt this from OpenStreetMap.org:
