I'm not certain of the occasion, but I'd have to guess the commandant had some business to attend to at the Coast Guard Academy across the river. In any case, I was fortunate enough to hear Coast Guard 01 receiving their IFR clearance while eating at the airport. A short while later, this beautiful C-37A (G-V) took off on Runway 23.
