Yes remember they are private citizens, just like Trump had to reactivate his 757 and smaller corporate jets for his travel.But then returning to New Castle/Wilmington from CA will be up to the Bidens to arrange? I've actually never really thought about how former POTUS get around. I guess it's always via charter private jet - I can't see the Obamas, Clintons, or Bush family with Secret Service details hoping to get into Group A on Southwest
I think Bush Jr is part owner of a sports team not sure - so technically could travel on the team private jet since it would be considered business travel. There are lots of companies that support VIP travel even if the person does not own the aircraft, these other companies can provide the jet and everything. When the VIP is not needing to travel - the company uses the jet for other clients. Then you always have NetJets, Flexjet and similar companies who own the jets and have multiple parties you use them personally on a shared basis.

Kind of O/T since everyone is talking about the inauguration but does anyone know what callsigns the chinooks use from 3-126th AVN? Or do they just use callsign Gaurd (reg numbers)
Now hearing on 248.65
99-0004 has filed flight plan from ADW to BUR for today, assuming VP departure from public office.

From my deck, snapped pic of Posse 61 as he landed at BWI a few minutes ago. Unfortunately, only has my phone at the time. He was followed by Posse 62.
Wait I live in New Jersey - is that a drone.

I just popped on here, curious what callsign the helo is using. I wasn't sure if the Marines would use a SAM callsign, or if that is reserved for USAF.

I guess SAM799 that just took off from ADW is the former vice president?
