Takes quite the pilot to take off and land a 737 in Lawrence.

That's what it looks like, though. Definitely not a Gulfstream of any sort. Must've landed at Forbes or Johnson county.

It was at Lawrence International Airport.
So was the Secret Service.

I was driving home as the plane took off yesterday - pulled off the road and got a couple of great shots. It was a beast out there at that small ariport! You could see the tail fin sticking up over the top of the terminal building. Usually a G5 is the biggest that comes in there - landing and taking off a 737 was quite a deal. :-)
