Commercial Airport

Donna targets the commercial airport as the stranded team's escape route after the campaign plane departs without them, felled by Dearborn County's time-zone quirk. Josh, Toby, Tyler, and Donna race toward its terminals from rural isolation, anticipating check-in rushes, security scrambles, and departure boards that promise commercial flights to rejoin the motorcade. Jet hum and traveler crowds loom as their path to salvaging the schedule amid frayed nerves and campaign chaos.
