I think a lot of you could've written this yourself, but here's a good article on the PAG C-32s.

And a lot of you will note this line "But once up in the air, the planes and their tail numbers still appear on public flight-tracking websites such as ADS-B Exchange" is incorrect. We've noted this fleet, when flying as the bug-out aircraft, often doesn't appear on ADS-B Exchange.

The secret history of the Air Force One shadow fleet

Service officials do not acknowledge the existence of four of the world's most prominent Boeing 757s.

Nice article. Prior to using the C-32s, this group had 4 C-20C's which were known as SENEX (Senior Executive) acft.

MI ANG (Selfridge) A-10s in last week's snowstorm

Activity on 253.2, BRAA type traffic. Using REDSHIRT a lot, but doesn't sound like a callsign. Kinda sounds like they're using it in place of the brevity code bullseye, a point used as a reference the bearing, range, altitude and attitude are derived from. Anyone else have any thoughts on it?

299.500 should be Giantkiller frequency in W105/106. Can usually hear the aircraft when they are closer to my area in those warning areas.

Yes Mako flight - listening while working as they were out with Cosmic flight in W107 with Gunex. Came back in high to do a maintenance report to Mr Mako on 261.00

Yeah what got me was SHARK Ops instead of DEVIL OPs. Guess they bring their own CP folks from Florida with them.

yeah they are definitely switching around on the callsigns to 261.000 Maybe there is a Mr Shark along with a Mr Mako.
Just think - if the fighters had a CLEAN callsign.....they could call Mr Clean
