Midwest - Some big plane lands at CLE 11/15/11?

I know that's the lamest thread title ever but I'm not clever.

I live right on the flight path into CLE as they come over the lakefront just west of downtown. Yesterday afternoon 4pm-ish I'm walking the dogs and I hear a loud sound of engines. I look up and see a different kind of plane.

I wish I could describe it well. It was 4 engines that looked almost offset and forward from the wing and then maybe 2 other mini-engines or tubes of some sort as well on the bottom front

As you can tell by my horrible description above, I'm no aviation expert. But I'd like to know what it was. :)

Anyone know?

*maybe* an answer to my own question.

Perhaps Joe Biden rolling in something swanky.

Probably one of these: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4T4SjKSVodU/Th1I8GGwR1I/AAAAAAAAG5g/Oww20yaPXrY/s1600/Boeing+C-17+Globemaster+III+%25283%2529.jpg

he landed at lakefront not CLE

Flightaware: 15th around 4pm-ish (and I am looking from 3:30-4:30) only shows 15 flights landing largest were a couple of 737's.

I seem to remember military planes (as well as high security flights) don't normally show up on flightaware.

*pure speculation*: while Biden may have been at BKL, is there any chance support staff or anything else could have went to CLE (or he could have been departing from CLE)?

I was in CLE yesterday morning and there were no 'fun' planes there (at least from 08h00 to 09h00)...

And Biden would most likely be flying in a C-32A, or a plane based on the B757, but not necessarily.

And sometimes USAF uses a C-5 Galaxy to transport Secret Service support vehicles as well. I've witnessed this at LAX in the past.....

But I kinda doubt it was a C-5.....it's more likely that it was a C-17.

I think that pick matches pretty well... except I probably saw landing gear retracted and assume it looks like 2 tubular things up front when not out.

It was definately the Hopkins pathway. Burke is just a tiny bit east and I can see that too, but they're a lot lower and not S-W bound.

To the OP:

I have no idea about your question, but I disagree about the thread title...it's actually pretty funny in a kitschy sort of way. And more important, it gets right to the point, which a lot of thread titles don't really manage to do.
