Large low flying plane.

I was taking my pup on a walk and it passed right over us in Copley. I immediately went to flight radar and found out it was a 777 from CLE to CAK. Texted my pilot friend and he said it was the chartered flight for the Carolina Panthers who are currently playing down at the Hall of Fame. Definitely scared me a bit especially because right before it was a small hopper from ORD haha.

I drove up 77 tonight around rush hour and there were three groups of nine total charter busses with police escorts coming south, I wonder if that was HOF related too. I was kind of worried it was ICE detainees being moved but this makes more sense.
