The Northstar Regional Airport has just a 6600 ft. runway. The big guy can't fly in there. Sorry, Donwald. I know it's cramped quarters, but...

There's a USAF C-32 (Boeing 757) he uses to fly into smaller airports. that's what he'll be flying today, since the Mankato airport can't handle the 747.

He does use a 757 sometimes. USAF C-32. However, the Rochester airport can handle a 747, so maybe the news is incorrect.

AF 1 can do short take offs and Landings. Raises hell on the Brakes and Reverse Thrusters.

Apparently he'll be taking a chopper down to Mankato and probably then to Oshkosh, WI, then returning to MSP for the next leg of this set of airport "whistle stops."
