Cleveland becomes campaign plane parking lot
The presidential campaigns collided in Cleveland, Ohio, on Monday.
With both presidential nominees and their running mates in the battleground state for Labor Day events, there was an interesting scene at the local airport.
Reporters took to Twitter to post pictures of Donald Trump’s plane sitting on the tarmac next to his running mate Mike Pence’s plane, Hillary Clinton’s plane and the plane of her vice-presidential running mate, Tim Kaine.

Trump was quick note that Clinton, on her first flight in her new campaign plane Monday, was late to the party.
Responding to the picture CNN reporter Betsy Klein, Trump tweeted: “again Hillary is late the trump campaign already beat her there.”

The dueling campaign planes stirred a battle over who has the bigger aircraft.
@jesshop23 @ABCPolitics @realDonaldTrump @mike_pence @timkaine With all do respect Trump’s/Pence plane is significantly noticeably superior.
