A flight from Midway to New Castle, DE... to pick someone up? Who knows? No other flights from anywhere in and around Chicago to anywhere in and around Delaware... or vice versa. Just this charter.

[Eurobabe]

1. Oh interesting...

[Muttocracy]

2. well hey, at least this gives us something new to watch!

I remember that site from the Edwards endorsement flight!

[rzemanfl]

3. What about the flight from Tampa to Saudi Arabia in 2001? n/t

[babylonsister]

4. I can safely say Obama has controlled this news cycle! It's pretty

funny, watching CNN and reading blogs. Obama has gotten the press.:D

[flpoljunkie]

15. I love it!

[Muttocracy]

5. of course, could be a corporate flight going home for weekend.nt

[VolcanoJen]

6. This is such a hoot!!!!!!

VeepLust does strange things to people... including me!!!!

The flight thing is a lot more solid than the stickers and the websites, IMHO.

[babylonsister]

7. Or, was Obama on that plane?

:dilemma:

[nsd]

8. How close is New Castle to Biden's house?

Would he use that airport?

[Muttocracy]

9. about 10 miles? nt

[flpoljunkie]

11. Or, less.

[Muttocracy]

10. googlemap

[Muttocracy]

12. En route! Probably nothing but fun to watch!

[gateley]

13. It's so funny you link to the flight tracker!

Something new for me to stare at that doesn't tell me anything! :-)

[flpoljunkie]

14. Something else to keep us occupied before we get the news from Obama.

[Muttocracy]

16. gives illusion of progress on a schedule (unlike txt msg!) :)

[gateley]

19. When it gets near to arrival time, I'll be frantically

going between the VP Watch/Biden House back to Flight Tracker, back to DU. It's insane! :rofl:

[Born_A_Truman]

17. If so, how do they get Biden out of his house with the media hordes?

[Muttocracy]

20. fly back at night? a DUer in Delaware says there's a back way out of his property. nt

[jillan]

21. Or Bayh or Kaine.

CNN has cameras on all of them.

[salonghorn70]

22. That Was A thought I Had Too

Media is at the houses of Biden, Kaine, Chet Edwards,Bayh. They are going to know if any of these move. I guess unless they are smuggled out in the trunk of a car. I am trying to picture any of them being smuggled out in the trunk of a car. :)

[monomach]

18. It was in Nebraska and Iowa yesterday.

It's nothing. Just some plane.

[ReverendDeuce]

23. Your logic isn't... Charter jets go where they are chartered... LOL..

It's totally normal for charter jets to fly wherever they are chartered. I think this is it, folks!

[monomach]

26. ...He'd charter a plane FROM Delaware.

That's my point. Half the gas, half the emissions, half the labor costs.

[Muttocracy]

24. did anyone try other combos - Midway to other VP hideouts? nt

[AlinPA]

25. I hope Schweitzer is driving his pickup along with his dog to Springfield. That

would drive the stupid media nuts. The media pigs are staking out peoples' homes, what a bunch of idiots.

[monomach]

27. I love how his dog goes to work with him

The guy's a regular Andy Griffith!

[Muttocracy]

28. :)

[tokenlib]

29. Schweitzer could fly coach with a VP sign around his neck and the media would ignore him...

So could Clark at this point....

[Barack_America]

30. Here's something that will blow their minds...

A flight left from New Castle, DE bound for Chicago Midway at 8:00am this morning!

http://flightaware.com/live/flight/EJA307/history/20080822/1206Z/KILG/KMDW

Hey political-stalkers camped outside Joe's house...have you seen him today?

:rofl:

Edited: changed link

[Tesibria]

32. However, the AM flight was a different plane - so this is not same return of THAT plane. eom

[Barack_America]

33. Why would he return to Delaware tonight?

Isn't the rally tomorrow?

:shrug:

[Tesibria]

37. I think ...

... the point of the report re: this morning's flight (from DE to IL) was that maybe someone was flying into Chicago. Obviously NOT Biden/potential VP, as their houses are staked out.

... then, there's tonight's report of the flight from IL to DE -- indicating (to our overactive imaginations) maybe a "cab" coming to pick up Biden.

... then, someone thought that maybe tonight's flight was just a return of this morning's flight.

... to which I responded that tonight's flight is a different plane than this morning's flight.

clear as mud now?

[Barack_America]

41. They didn't stake out over night.

Biden could be long-gone. That was my point.

[ronnykmarshall]

34. Da Plane! Da Plane!

[Barack_America]

35. Dude! How did you get that advance photo of McCain and his running mate?

Strong work!

[ronnykmarshall]

36. I got my ways!!!!

[Muttocracy]

31. crossing into PA airspace! nt

[Tesibria]

38. LANDED !!!! eom

[medicswife]

39. And Biden just left his house.........????????? n/t

[Tesibria]

40. he did ???

[medicswife]

43. well, a CAR just left Biden's house. At about 6:33 Central. The

plane landed around 6:37 Central.

[carpetbagger]

42. It's just Bigfoot.

Nothing to see here.
