Reports of another TFR over Michigan. KC135 circling plus an E3 from tinker headed that direction.

Coast Guard C6007 in area also and Sentry 25 E3TF 78-0578 headed that way, over Lake Michigan in northwest Michigan.

But seems like a lot of air traffic despite the TFR.

A report Potus Dearborn visit cancelled for Monday. Too many balloons around?

FLOTUS has Mesa visit scheduled tomorrow, no word on SB visit but wouldn't rule out an OTR side trip.

Haven't heard anything official about Michigan other than FAA Safety Team notice, but I'm sure @Mark is correct.

1106L - NASA806 (U-2) headed up Chesapeake Bay at 60K.

Disappointed in the weather today, 806 passed nearly directly over the house this morning prior to meeting up with the P3 off OBX at the time.

There wouldn't be three pointers then, they'd all be shot down.

 

[Tank67]

I mean I wouldn't trust China either but I'll post it anyway China claims ‘unidentified object’ in its airspace, prepared to shoot it down
