Air Force 2 at LGA ?

[Speedbird1]

I was visiting LGA yesterday and suddenly spotted an aircraft land in the late afternoon on Rwy 31. It was in the same livery as Air Force 1 but was not a 747. Was it The Vice-President's aircraft? It might have been a B707 but it taxied away too fast to really see and I had no binoculars. I know that Mr. Biden is in town to honor the fallen on 9-11 but can a B7077 land at LGA? I would have thought he'd arrive at JFK. I also saw a Southwestern aircraft painted in an attractive logo for Florida, #N945WN. What other special liveries does Southwestern have? I also saw a Frontier aircraft with a pelican (#N948FR) and a moose (N201FR). I never knew that LGA had such interesting flights; hope to see some at Kid's Day.

Not to sound rude but do you look around the forum? There are several topics on this already ;)

707s and DC-8s cannot land at LGA. besides, the VP will more than likely fly on a C-32.

The 89th Airlift Wing, which handles VIP transport, no longer uses 707s. As was posted elsewhere in the forum, a USAF C-32 arrived as Air Force 2 carrying VPOTUS.

Yes, what was I thinking? The USAF no longer flies the B-707. As I stated, it taxied past me very quickly so I only got a glance. It was a USAF C-32 ressembling a B 752. My interest is limited to only commercial aviation so I know nothing about military aircraft but this aircraft appeared special. Any confirmation that the aircraft was carrying Mr. Biden?
