SAM018 99-0004 is squawking on the runway at ADW, showing on ADSB as it prepares for the long journey with FLOTUS
Isn't that the Sec of State going to Norway or did he take another plane?
Check that seems he already made Sweden today..

Blinken left this morning
What plane did he take?
Searching around myself there was a SAM-606 late last night headed up that way seems maybe Shanwick stop first? C-40B #01-0015.
Nice plane was AF-2 last week.
Should be Oslo stop next today.McGuire has flight to Davis Monthan Weds morning.. Could be the last KC-10.

US: Another ‘Unprofessional‘ Intercept of RC-135 by Chinese Fighter. Watch the Video
The Pentagon said a Chinese fighter jet performed an unprofessional intercept of an Air Force RC-135, the second incident in recent months.

Seems Raptor-1,2 did the Hudson tour as well.. Seems everyone is doing this lately and good
to see as Mil flights over NYC were kind of frowned upon on as some locals even long after 9/11 got nervous when unannounced fighters
buzzed the area... Between the Hudson and Niagara Falls,New York state has good Mil Air visitors business
Later on this Summer will have to keep an eye out for the new Canforce-1

I saw this on ABC national news last night but they didn't identify which USAF aircraft it was. 135 was my guess - thanks for confirming!

Both my Nikon D3500 and Z 7 have no problem with the matte grey planes, but I’ve noticed the F-22’s semi-reflective panels causes some shading and issues at certain angles to the sun.
Saw a flight of 4 contrails heading North through central PA to central NY. Roughly in the area of Forge53. I don't know if it is related to him or not but that is an interesting flight path. ADS-B Exchange - track aircraft live

I think that's what 'Manual Focus' actually is on the SX720. There's no viewfinder or focus ring. You preset focus with a rocker switch, and the camera will fine-tune focus with a button-push on whatever's in the target frame. I find that I need to preset for max distance, because the plane will initially too small a target for autofocus to engage. Not an ideal situation, but the compact size of the camera is the main reason that I get most of the shots that I do.

Thanks! I love watching the NGU heliport, although the QRM is generally too bad to hear much on the scanner. (They sound WAY better at Langley AFB) A couple of questions:
1 - WASH RACK -- really a radio freq to make an appointment to wash the helo? Definitely gotta put THAT one in next time.
2 - East Common & West Common - Any idea on the nature of those? Local thing, Navy thing, Nationwide thing? First time I've ever heard of them, but those two now go onto my priority list as well.
Can't be sure due to all the QRM from base ELMR, but it sounds like some of the squadron base freqs might be encrypted. Sounds like constant noise--much like what the VA ANG F-16's would test before launching at RIC back in the day

East/West common are for VFR traffic in the area. Uncontrolled advisory frequencies.

Back when I was working, SIERRA frequency was only used by the staff on trips outside the DC area. The portable radios were issued to them by WHCA once they arrived in whatever city to start the advance work. The lead USSS advance agent would also be issued a special SS portable that had SIERRA (plus the usual B-C-M-T-O-P) on it so that the agent would be able to communicate with the lead staff person during the advance.
