I see 82-8000 on approach. No callsign showing on ADSBX.

Update: Turned crosswind for MBS, from the looks of things. Anyone know if there will be a motorcade to the appearance, or if Marine 1 will be utilized?

VC-25 82-8000 is outbound, from MBS.

I believe it's the same area as the PIKE & STEELHEAD MOA's just higher. The altitudes are 18000 to 40000 feet.
