VP Harris returns from Germany in C-17 support plane after Air Force Two experiences mechanical issues

Vice President Kamala Harris is returning home from the Munich Security Conference in Germany in a C-17 support plane due to maintenance issues on Air Force Two.

If this helps ID the plane, AF2 was wheels up at 6:36 pm.

From a WH official on the plane switch: “Due to maintenance difficulties, the VP and the traveling party will depart Munich to Washington DC on a back up aircraft.”

Any info on that Miami TFR from the other day? 6 Security TFR's for the Mayport FL area were issued today.

No, appears to be in effect until Monday. but unsure for what event, maybe one of the parties holding a convention or something with numerous congressional members in attendance.

There is a SAM-074 #99-0004 departing Munich now.. Maybe got plane problem solved.
RCH-147 came out of Ramstein so maybe not it. Six Hour time diference between Munich and here so gonna be a while.
RCH-230 C-17 #09-9212 departed Munich around that time.This was tail that did run to India this past week.

Just had a C130J (05-3145) fly into the area from Andrews, then did three loops around New Castle, flew north to Hockessin and turned west. Odd flight path, that one... Nice to see a J in these skies though, as our 166th Airlift Wing is all H's. Quite a different sound, as well.

It shows up as E53145 on ADSB, I've noticed other J's as Exxxxx in the past, any ideas as to what E signifies?

EVAC I believe, medical flight.

Yes his callsign on radio was "Evac-53145 off the deck 1900" Strange he did that loop over KILG.
Maybe he knows someone who works there

Isn’t this like the second or third time the C-32 has had issues in the past few weeks or so? I recall there being issues on the trip to Memphis too

Some rare into San Juan anyway A-10's from 23Wg Moody warming up the runway.
Their engines really screaming upon departure. Not much ordinance outbound but one inbound flight
looks like maybe something on the pylons. I wish these guys would post rough times/dates anyway as many Tubers especially in UK
post older vids like they are new.

Sure a lot of C-17's off to Warsaw EPWA tonight. Between Germany and Poland a busy weekend for the AMC.

Travel pods on 2 and LITENING plus Mavericks on 4. But I bet they are loaded to the brim with fuel.

As mentioned above, it's sensor-laden Army Beechcraft day over New Castle. SHADY86 came by first out of PHL, MC12-W Liberty, followed moments later by SHADY92, also MC-12 out of PHL, sporting it's white with blue accents paint scheme. SHADY86 has already landed after the short flight to BWI, and SHADY92 looks to be doing the same. And the E-4B you mentioned is closing on the same area as well.

Talk about an appropriate callsign

1330- I notice that Extender 33 (KC-10 # 86-0033) a Travis 62ndAW bird off Piedmont Airport, Greensboro NC. Kinda strange place for a KC-10 to stop over.
