Aircraft known as Air Force Two spotted at Tallahassee airport. See it here!

The plane commonly referred to as Air Force Two when carrying the vice president was spotted Thursday and Friday at the Tallahassee International Airport. According to the flight crew, this was a training flight and there were no elected or appointed personnel aboard, Alison Faris, a city spokesperson, said. It departed from Tallahassee Friday morning. Photos of the executive aircraft flooded local social media pages Nov. 5 as people shared their up-close photos with the Boeing C-32A, the military version of a Boeing 757. Several people who are a part of Tallahassee's Civil Air Patrol, a volunteer organization that assists the U.S. Air Force with things like search-and-rescue and disaster-response missions, posted that they got to see the plane and meet with its security detail.

One honey here is famous for refusing to crystallize. The owners themselves point to its rare natural makeup as the reason it stays smooth in the jar.

I love that something this rare comes from such a small corner of the map.
