WABI interviews Jones about Sen. McCain’s 2010 unexpected Bangor airport visit
WABI (Channel 5) interviewed Nory Jones, a professor of management information systems in the Maine Business School at the University of Maine, about Sen. John McCain’s unexpected visit to the Bangor International Airport in 2010. Jones, who also is a volunteer Troop Greeter for the airport, told WABI about a night in November 2010 when she and Sen. Susan Collins were at the airport to greet troops and encountered Sen. McCain by chance. “A small plane carrying a bunch of Senators was on the way to Canada but they had some bad weather and they had to land in the Bangor airport. And just by chance they landed when in fact there were three flights of troops that were either deploying or coming home,” said Jones. “[Sen. McCain] really enjoyed mingling with the Marines and talking to them, and he was just happy to have his picture taken with them, and it really was a great moment.”
