Taken not too long after President Obama's support team returned to the airport - 3 Chinooks and probably Marine 1.

Given the 30+ ILWG emails I've received...I'm guessing it's Dupage Co. Airport.

Thanks: I assumed that it was somewhere in IL, but I was too lazy to look up the identifier.  Being 2000 miles away doesn't help, either.

It was a joke. Seems that lately any picture posted on the internet reveals SOMETHING.

I suppose with gps tagging and such in the picture data that is to be expected.
