Air Force Two makes a pit stop at the Medford airport

Some sharp-eyed NewsWatch 12 viewers spotted the Boeing C-32 typically known as "Air Force Two" parked at the Rogue Valley International Medford-Airport over the weekend. Here's what we know about what it was doing there.

According to Airport Director Jerry Brienza, the plane landed and took on fuel, then took off, landed again, and then departed.

Brienza did not know the exact nature of the visit, though said it was likely a routine training mission. Examples of a routine mission could be to train a new pilot to use various navigational programs the airport uses. If Medford is on a list for a potential visit in the future, it could be that the plane landed so people could get a closer look at the facility.

Federal officials do not need to notify the airport ahead of time when planning a landing. They will often work with air traffic control if they need to land, such as when Kingsley Field sends jets over to perform touch-and-go operations.

All that said, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, made an appearance in Eugene on Monday. He was scheduled to tour a vaccination site on Monday afternoon, followed by a roundtable discussion on pandemic needs. According to other reports, he's scheduled to visit Yakima, Washington on Tuesday.

As of Monday evening, no sources had confirmed whether Emhoff was traveling on Air Force Two for the visit to Eugene.

Vice President Harris was in Oakland, California on Monday, accompanying Governor Gavin Newsom in a tour of a water treatment facility to promote the administration's infrastructure proposal.
