After getting stuck at the St. Louis airport for several hours yesterday, U.S. Presidential candidate Barack Obama and his entourage managed to score an ExpressJet ERJ-145 to take them on to Atlanta, according to Fox News. Good thing it was a relatively short flight, given that they had to cram it full. Those small ERJ planes (not the larger E-Jets) are like flying sardine cans...they make the CRJ planes look positively spacious by comparison.
Fox is also reporting that Obama and crew have flown on to Washington, DC aboard another Midwest MD-80 today. Apparently everything is routine so far -- no mention of any more spontaneous emergency slide deployments in-flight this time around.
