Just walked into the UA club by gate 80 and notice what appears to be a Challenger CL600 reg VP-BJE parked across on the apron the other side of 28R, (by the SFO fuel tanks). Plane flanked on the far side by police, airport and emergency vehicles all with lights on.
Curious as to what mighg be goin on. Most of the vehicles dispersed slowly by 10.30.o

That is certainly the aircraft. Quite possibly medical, as the last vehicle to leave was a van that reminded me very much of the NASA quarantine vehicles used during Apollo. More of an RV sized vehicle.

Could be a very wealthy person here for specialized medical treatment. UCSF and Stanford have top-notch research hospitals.
