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.

KC-10's come to Greensboro nearly Monthly. HAECO Americas does work of some sorts on them. I've noticed they mostly use the call sign "GUCCI" or "XTNDR."

In fact if you look at google maps two KC-10's are in the picture. The last time my wife and I ventured that way we stopped by, no KC-10's but LOTS of foreign and domestic airliners were getting work done.

Do all of the SHADY aircraft come from one DOD base or a specific wing ?
Terry

As far as I know the US Army Shadys are all based at Hunter AAF near Savannah. I know the USAF also has some MC-12s but I don't know where they are based. I would guess somewhere in the Soutwest area, NM, AZ

That’s what They want you to believe. ;)


Biden departed ADW aboard 99-0003, call sign SAM060 at 0915z on Sunday and arrived at Ramstein 7 hours later. I am not sure how he got to Ukraine, but i am sure that there’s some hex-spoofing involved.

Agreed. And I'm sure if Biden did meet Z in Kyiv, you can bet your sweet bippy that Putin was told ahead of time to back off while Potus was there. Hope we have enough ordinance to combat China should they decide to invade Taiwan - guess it depends on how many more balloons we decide to shoot down with our $400K sidewinders!
Reports say Potus took a train to Kyiv.

Might be the reason we're seeing a string of RC-12s coming into BWI recently.

That's the difference between announced official schedule and OTR travel, Air Force One departed from Andrews Air Force Base at 4:15 a.m. EST Sunday. Your pool was already on board and not see Biden board the plane. An overhead announcement at roughly 4:00 a.m. stated that Biden had arrived. The pool was swept at Andrews at 2:15 a.m. and asked to hand over our devices, as is often the case for unannounced presidential visits of this nature.
