The Market—a refreshing pause on your journey to anywhere
Yes, that bird you might see this morning flying around Charlottesville's skies is a Boeing 757 from the Presidential Fleet out of Andrews Air Force Base. It should be here around 10:30 a.m. and plans on 5 or 6 training maneuvers commonly referred to as "touch and goes". Enjoy the sight while you ponder who just may have been one of the last passengers on board!

Tonight (Sat.) around 6:45 pm it flew over Earlysville and sounded like the end of the world! Made two passes.
That flight tonight was an F/A-18 Hornet. From where or why it was flying over we don’t know!

The USC used two 757’s when they came to our little old town in September. One carried the football team and the other carried the band. They definitely take a lot of runway for takeoffs.

I saw it fly over my home near Fry Springs Beach Club this morning! I can’t believe a plane that big can touch and go at our airport!
