Hundreds gather at a hangar at the Muñiz National Guard Base in Carolina.

Hundreds of local public and private sector representatives gathered at the Muñiz Air National Guard Base Tuesday morning to get a glimpse of President Barack Obama and listen to his remarks to Puerto Rico upon arriving later this morning.

Air Force Once is expected to arrive at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport at 11:45 a.m., where he will be welcomed by a government contingent lead by Gov. Luis Fortuño.
