Thunderbirds have arrived at MacDill. Dragged by GUCCI09 and DANTE34. Sad I’m missing that air show, quite the lineup this year. GUCCI09 up with Tampa approach on 118.8, ILS 05 at MacDill.

POTUS Thursday travel schedule, as a reminder he is staying in NYC overnight...

11:10 AM THE PRESIDENT departs the White House en route Joint Base Andrews, South Grounds
11:40 AM THE PRESIDENT departs Joint Base Andrews en route John F. Kennedy International Airport
12:35 PM THE PRESIDENT arrives at John F. Kennedy International Airport
12:45 PM THE PRESIDENT departs John F. Kennedy International Airport en route the Wall Street Landing Zone
1:00 PM THE PRESIDENT arrives at the Wall Street Landing Zone, New York, New York

Apparently First Lady is traveling to NYC separately, as she joins him for an event in the evening.

Just a correction on tankers for T-Birds were MacDill DANTE-33 #62-3498 who after New Mexico/Texas landed NAS Ft worth.
DANTE-34 #59-1459 also out of MacDill took them the rest of the way from Texas to MacDill.
GUCCI-09 KC-10 #86-0038 flew non-stop to MacDill later at FL350 so probably a display show tail and may get the job of returning T-Birds to Nellis
after the show Saturday or Sunday. I guess that was part of MacDill deal to get the T-Birds was to provide the tankers .

Seems lately the Blue Angels and T-Birds are starting to demand more and more extras and assistance for their Airshow participation.
Hey they bring the crowds so make more demands.. LOL Flying Rock Stars doing the American Way :)

Good catch, MacDill just confirmed.👌 An article said this will be Macdill’s last show until 2027 due to runway upgrades to accommodate the 46s. Guess they’re trying to make this show a good one!

About to head over towards the White House to watch VM01 pick up POTUS. I have the following freqs in my scanner - anything else?

134.350 DCA Helo
257.600 DCA Tower
143.825 HMX-1 Tac
265.800 HMX-1 Tac?
273.950 HMX-1 Tac
277.175 HMX-1 Ops NDV
318.900 HMX-1 Ops NYG

VH-92 just flew over near the east end of the Mall. Heard briefly on 134.350 mentioned landing Anacostia.

Just saw a motorcade heading east on Constitution Ave. I think they scrubbed the helos for weather.

The controller on 119.1 (which is often patched with 257.6) usually simulcasts on 134.35.

143.825 is used all over the place with both AM and FM modulations between aircraft and the LZ controller, but not often in DC.

The only HMX-1 frequency I hear regularly used in DC is 277.175.

Also, no Marine One this week because the South Lawn is full of Easter Egg Roll prep.
