Years ago , on way to Alaska, our plane stopped at Minn-St Paul. We were to change planes there, but Pres Bush and AF1 were in St Paul at the time and our follow on flt was delayed by 3 hours waiting for Bush & AF1 to depart. Upside, I got some pretty good pics of AF1 on the tarmac

Looks like President Biden and Jill Biden took the C-32 09-0015 from New Castle. I was listening for the Marine One group when walking one of our dogs just after 9:30, but heard a large jet take off. I should have assumed it would be a C-32 today since their destination this morning is Andrews and not the White House directly. They're descending into Andrews now at 10:15am EDT.

There is a NIGHTHAWK-31 showing from Quantico to Milwukee now.. Prob a couple MV-22Bs.. Maybe fuel stop before Minnesota.kind of rare to see them track cross country like that.

Looking at the remarks location, Dutch Creek Farms 30251 Eveleth Avenue, Northfield, MN, it seems to be all farm land around there with no real landing zone. Travel by car is about 40 minutes (less with police escort) so I'm not sure M1 or MV-22s will be in play.
Nighthawk-31 back up off Milwaukee headed Northwest.. Needed or not they hit every domestic Potus trip as backups anyway.
Was not aware of that, thanks!
