A Surprise Visitor to Detroit Metro

As I said in the last post, I found out that there was going to be a special visitor coming to Detroit Metro.

When I got up to the parking deck to watch said visitor, I saw that Detroit had another surprise visitor.  This P-8 Poseidon belongs to VP-30 out of Jacksonville, Florida.  I'm not sure why it was here though.
An A300 belonging to UPS.
This A330 was on its way to Amsterdam.
An American 737 heading to Charlotte.
I liked the looks of it as it climbed up.
Another American 737 but it was heading to Dallas.
A United E175 heading to Newark.
I'm not sure where this Spirit Aircraft is heading.
Another United E175 but I'm not sure where it is heading.
A Southwest 737.
A Delta A321 heading to Atlanta.
SAme a little higher.
An A320 heading to Miami.
Some but flying by.
I'm not sure where this CRJ is heading.
An American A320.
A shot with the beacon.
An E175 coming in.
Another A321 heading to Atlanta.
An A321 coming in from LAX.
An American 737 heading off to Charlotte.
A 717 coming in from St. Louis.
An A320 heading somewhere.
The State Police helicopter indicated that the plane I was waiting for would be taking off soon.
It was making sure there was nobody around.
The special visitor turned out to be Air Force One.  President Biden was in town today but I'm not sure what for.
This makes the third time I've see this plane.
It starts the takeoff role.
And starts to lift into the sky.
I think this is my favorite.
And it climbs into the air.
I will have to admit, this is a pretty impressive looking aircraft.
And it turns off to Washington DC.  Like I said, this is a pretty impressive aircraft even though the livery looks pretty low key.  I hope that they have an updated version of this for the new VC-25s getting built.
