However, President Joe Biden was not on board, so the plane was not Air Force One. The president was at the White House on Monday afternoon when the plane was seen flying near the Colorado Springs Airport. 

"We work just down the street over here and we saw it flying around a couple of times doing touch-and-goes so we decided to come over here and look at it and got to see it land," said witness Mike Morse.
