Vice President and Columbus native Mike Pence arrived at Columbus Municipal Airport this morning aboard Air Force 2, to attend the Indianapolis 500.
The trip included two C-5 Galaxy cargo planes, which were loaded with Secret Service vehicles for the vice president’s stay in the city. After meeting local visitors at the airport, including his mother Nancy Pence Fritsch, Bartholomew County Republican Party Chairwoman Barb Hackman and State Rep. Milo Smith, R-Columbus, Pence boarded a helicopter to head to the race.
