Military requirements for squawking near DCA
They always miss the point about being able to see the aircraft visually......same thing as when AF1 goes overseas for a surprise troop visit and other airline crews see it visually but it is not using AF1 callsign nor a normal hex code. Same goes with corporate jets.For those tracking tail numbers, HR3935 Sec 803 reads as follows;

I couldn't care less about celebrities, but there are a number of government (state and fed) agencies and shell companies that I track which could be lost. Keep in mind many CBP helicopters use N numbers, some Jenna and Troy planes and helicopters as well, among others.Yes the new Taylor Swift,Elon Musk aviation rules.
I get mixed feelings on this as yes there are some nefarious creeps who track celebrities
for who knows what purposes.
But you can't stop visual observations as Terry said and this rule may get some bad actors added who want to be anonymous.
I guess there will be drawbacks no matter what they do..
Yawn 41 chose ACY for their approaches, now telling ACY tower 1 more approach then back to WRI. 120.31330- KC-46 Yawn 42 approaches at DOV (132.425)
Any idea who they were talking to? A FLT of 2x (I believe) Gold Tops was flying ESN-USNA at that time to pick up SECDEF.1320- PAT 13 (UH-60 12th Avn Bde) working Freedom Ops on 226.3
1525- Couple of flts of MD ANG A-10s up. One flt working Harrisburg A/D (273.525). A2A 266.6 & 293.3
Currently RCH-182 C-17 #06-6159 Travis doing KGSB to PAED..Just noticed C-17 #03-3122 going direct Elmendorf from KGSB SJ where some of the VINYL tankers went.
Chance this is a 4th FW F-15E deployment?
Seems yesterday a RCH-170 C-17 #07-7189 also out of KGSB to PAED.
Maybe replace the Vermont F-35's who have been down Pacific ways a few months.
