Yesterday about 5pm, I spotted this massive strange plane flying low over Lakewood, probably headed to the Airport.
So I drive out there, and sure enough...
An Air Force C-17 Globemaster. I was told, this is one of the planes that carries the President's Car, and all of the Secret Service armored vehicles.
President is in town(Cleveland) this weekend I think. While his car, and maybe Air Force One flies by. Hilary's plane, Trump's plane all have flow overhead!
More on the C-17 Globemaster

The President will be in Columbus for an Ohio State Democratic Party dinner and tomorrow morning at Burke Lakefront for a Rally. So----- maybe he can drive up Warren Road on the way to Burke????
This plane holds enough gas for a passenger car to drive around the world 31 times!.
And like a true government project a C-5 requires 16 hours of maintenance for every hour of flight!

The presidential vehicles are transported via a C-17 Globemaster not The C5 Galaxy

All he has to do is get in the effing limo at Hopkins and drive up Rocky River Drive. He can take Munn to Warren ***** or McKinley to Madison.

Thanks, was getting info from a person coming out of NASA.
I updated the original post, with a documentary on the C-17 Globemaster.
It's even more amazing.
Thanks again.

Lakewood would be honored to host President Obama at the Solstice Steps.

No problem. Just trying to help out. Both are pretty impressive aircraft.
