SALISBURY -- Weather pending, President Barack Obama could fly into the Salisbury-Ocean City: Wicomico Regional Airport on Friday and then take a road trip to Cambridge, an informed source familiar with plans for the landing said on condition of anonymity.
"Salisbury is an alternate airport if weather does not permit (Obama's plane) to fly directly into Cambridge," the source said Wednesday afternoon. "There were (federal) visitors today at the Salisbury airport. They wanted to tour, and said that Salisbury would be an alternate airport."
According to the source, the president is expected to attend a Friday session of the Maryland Democratic Party's annual conference at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort, Spa & Marina in Cambridge, some 30 miles west. It would be the second known visit by the president to the mid-Shore. In late January 2011, Obama made a reported whistle stop at the Democrat Party's Maryland retreat at the Cambridge Hyatt, an event also attended by Vice President Joe Biden, who was a guest speaker.
The preferred plan on Friday is to fly Obama to a small general aviation airport in Cambridge, the source said
