Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2023

I say shoot it down. Probably too late now though. Moving southeast...what else is it going to take pictures of? Then what happens? Does it turn around and go back the way it came?

Probably looking for some of “Bidens” Classified documents that he has scattered around the US in his latest travels!🤣

Would be nice to get even the smashed electronics upon shoot down. Prob would not be in bad shape if you
just shot a few holes in the balloon. Probably has latest I-phone for a camera

Hey, the Soviets shot down our U-2, why can't we shoot down a "suspicious Chinese balloon"?

Five bucks says this is where China's balloon is...

No Ron was just North of Chase City Va.. Here is copy of replay 1600z from today.My mistake I posted was South of Chase City.
It or they stayed at FL 8.3 k all of the time on ADSB anyway.Maybe this tail was acting as point control as others went down low?
Turned around shortly later same way back Northeast over Richmond back to KMTN.
R6602 is reserved for next couple days.Maybe new range home for the 175thWg/104FS?

It appears they plane was in the Farmville MOA section on the maps. Be interesting to see if anything tracks there again. Since Fort Pickett closed you dont see alot in the area.

So, based on the schedule, I'm assuming President Biden is using the C-32 for the flight into PHL this afternoon, as it looks like he'll be returning to PHL for a quick jaunt into New Castle's DANG just after 7 p.m. Any word if the vice president will be on the same flight to PHL? As I mentioned yesterday, I know travelling together is usually frowned on though it has happened on occasion with recent presidents. If so, I guess the C-32 would drop off President Biden in New Castle then fly on to Andrews?

Same reason most companies do not allow their upper management to fly on the same aircraft. Higher risk to the organization if (for example) the CEO - COO - CFO are killed on the same flight. Shareholders would not approve and neither would their stocks.

The feed is online - with the following not being scanned

SATCOM
Local ATC - only Washington Center UHF is being scanned
Whatever else I forgot

76.124.165.101:5050

Note that if I am sitting in the office here in NJ - I may activate some local Philadephia stuff for the arrivals, Just for fun.
So a temporary interruption of the fighters and tankers may be in place. In case the balloon makes it this far I have the standard Motorola simplex frequency programmed in - the Chinese only use high quality American radios - not that cheap Chinese stuff.

Here is a live webcam of Phila Int'l. Needs to be refreshed too often to enjoy though. I caught a C-17 landing yesterday! Might see AF-1 today on it!

Yeah I spot check that one every so often.....it is a pain to refresh but I guess that keeps people from staying on the site and draining bandwidth.
