I have a question that is really bugging the hell out of me. On Friday, I was driving back from Illinois as Air Force One was landing at the Rock County Regional Airport in Janesville, WI. The question that popped in my brain was, "How do they land Air Force One at these small, regional airports that aren't built for 747's?" Are the runway lengths the same as the larger national and international airports, even though these regionals usually only handle smaller planes?
This post comes from the "wandering mind while driving" files.

Doesn't have to be a big plane. Any plane the President is flying on is called Air Force One.
It could be an Apache helicopter, a favorite transportation vehicle for the prez. Probably was.
It was actually the 747. I know they've flown the 747's into other regional airports in the state, as well. In fact, in 2000, Al Gore was in La Crosse when Air Force Two had a wheel go off the concrete and get stuck in mud.
