Default So Much for "The World On Time"

I arrived at KTZR/Bolton Field/Columbus OH at 0930 this morning for what
I was told would be a 1000-1030 arrival of the donated FedEx 727.
By 1125, I could no longer wait (had to go pick up my son from summer
school at 1145). As I was leaving the airport boundaries, I heard the
crew call inbound for the ILS 4 arrival.
Oh well, must have been an Eastern/Central Time confusion thing with my
source.

I doubt there was any urgency seeing as it wasn't a revenue flight.
Isn't that the plane going to the vocational tech school?

Correct.
They even had mechs and a semi with three "dead" engines to swap for the
the goods one they flew in on.
What a circus. One would have thought a major announcement of some sort
was forthcoming. All the high muckety mucks from the city and port
authority, state police helicopter and patrol officers, city police
helicopter, swat vehicle and patrol officers, county sheriff patrol
officers, school administration (those I understand).
