By Jonathan J. Cooper 07/01/2008 12:52PM

In what is likely the first-ever flight from Indianapolis to Colombia, Sen. John McCain's campaign charter will head to South America today, where the presumptive Republican nominee will try to flex his foreign policy muscles.  McCain will meet with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe and tour a naval base in Cartagena before flying to Mexico City for a meeting with Mexican President Felipe Calderon.  TWI Reporter Matthew DeLong is traveling with the McCain campaign and will give us frequent updates.

A handful of major media outlets previewed McCain's trip, including three which used an Associated Press story.
