I’m across from PHL waiting for Air Force One. Anyone know if they’re running quite a bit behind schedule? Landing was supposed to be 11:20 am but I’ve seen nothing in ADS B between Andrews and here…

1145 local - VC-25A (92-9000) on the way to KPHL. Just passing by Baltimore now.

Air Force One arriving at PHL just after noon EDT. The commercial aircraft were all touching the runway to my left, but I was happy to get a long approach which had this plane well off the ground and in profile before finally touching down. Thanks to the cooperative flight crew Planning to see what I can get from my upper deck here when they head home - the usual flight path is to depart PHL and take aim at KILG, passing by here at 3-5K altitude.

1450- Arris 46 0n 292.1 advises they are checking wx to see if it'll support an earlier launch tomorrow. Think they are working with a couple of VX-20 E-2Ds that were in same area earlier today but have since disappeared from ADS-B.

I used to hear that kind of comms out of Lakehurst a few years ago with a WARLOCK ID.
And speaking of the 119th FS, I haven't heard them use the VHF freqs in a few years. Same with the tankers out of McGuire. They've only been using the UHF. Like they abandoned the VHF altogether.

1242z "BLUE" Tanker Activity. BLUE03 KC-46 (21-46089) heading NE from McGuire @ FL310. Over Scotland, BLUE02 KC-46 (20-46073) is westbound @ FL270. Presumably BLUE03 will rendezvous with BLUE02 somewhere over the North Atlantic. From what I've seen on X I believe it is a 4x flt of LN F-15s. Boom Freq listed as 344.100 on BLUE02.
