Biden's arrival and departure from Crystal Lake, IL today.

Just some rando's view from the front lawn. (not mine, but I've seen some cool aircraft around the area)

Also, how cool are those Osprey aircraft?

Arrival - Osprey flying like a plane.

Departure - Taking off like a copter.

4. Yes!

"As a group, with their masterly powers of flight and their swashbuckling mode of life,
the birds of prey are by far the most exciting and romantic of all the breeding species....The "King of the Birds," the eagle is recognized the world over as a symbol of power and flight; but surely Nature, in the course of evolution, has not fashioned anything quite so superb in every way as the Osprey." *

6. Well That Explains The Two Copters I Saw Today Flying In Formation While....

I was running errands.

I thought it was quite odd. Something one doesn't see everyday.

I guess that was Biden.
