Dang ... that explains the fighter jet buzzing the neighborhood 20 minutes ago. I live parallel to PHL's runways ... nothing flies near house except Medevac helicopters as I am within 3 miles as the crow flies.

The Pope is a prime target for terrorists.

There are always flight interruptions because of major heads of state arriving in Boston. We deal with it, even for the Pope.
