So they land a 743 into a CTAF Airport without any facilities and fuel with a .gov call sign. That smells like a clandestine Oliver North style operation. Wonder what the cargo holds. For long time parking there are plenty of less humid locations available in the US with available custom officers for international arrivals.
And it was worth the risk to land a Iran/Venezuela plane after over a year of storage into an airport with no fire and rescue services.

So the US Marshals did maintainance. But why fly it into a deserted landing strip?
