(Off topic) Anyone ever come across ADF967 on their ADS-B gear? Once in a while my station displays it with a military flag and an antenna icon, but it show way off the coast of Island Beach State Park (LBI) in the sea. Curious what it is, was thinking maybe a weather buoy.

I believe that may be a “parrot” offset of ADS-B from ACY. It may be used as a virtual reference point. Just a guess. No firsthand knowledge.

Lots of C-17s flying today as a week of campaigning kicks off, RCH, FAMUS and BANNER callsigns picking up and delivering vehicles, helicopters and equipment to various campaign stops.
Only 2 more months to go too :(
Just got back from road trip to Erie Pa area and tuning in local radio stations across the State up and back
the radio campaign commercials are endless.. My relatives up that way are tired of them already.
Pennsylvania is the Hot campaign money Potato!
One oddity I noticed driving all that way is all the small silver painted SUV type colors.
Silver paint is king of the automobile colors :)

POTUS Week Ahead travel...

Thursday, September 5, 2024
In the afternoon, the President will travel to Westby, Wisconsin.

Friday, September 6, 2024
In the afternoon, the President will travel to Ann Arbor, Michigan.

And the VP...

On Wednesday, September 4, the Vice President will travel to Portsmouth, NH for a campaign event.
On Thursday, September 5, the Vice President will travel to Pittsburgh, PA.

OFF TOPIC side note, tonight on POTUS' return to the WH he was asked how does he feel about being out on the campaign trail again today, POTUS said: "Feels good -- except I'm not able to go out into crowds anymore, the Secret Service doesn't let me." Asked why not, POTUS said, "Because they said it's too dangerous. No one gets to go out."

Yesterday 2x ROMA tankers arrived at Pease. ROMA61 KC-135 (60-0341) and ROMA62 KC-46 (18-46049). Likely going to be taking the F-35s across the pond tomorrow.
