Yeah I have been following the aircraft on another web site......Either the USA does not want it outside of their protective watch (aka bring it inside the borders) or they have other plans for it.Unusual B-747-300M now in the USA...

Would look good in Atlas Air colors but hunch tells me since a controversial tail they
will fly it to Victorville perhaps to eventually end up in storage or later as spare parts...
The Justice Dept says plane will be disposed of.

Yeah maybe they just want to make sure it was disposed of not re-flown again......not too many of that configuration flying so probably just scrap it out completely. Atlas would only want 747-400 series or 747-8 - this aircraft is not worth their time or effort.Would look good in Atlas Air colors but hunch tells me since a controversial tail they

Just reading more about it - it landed at KTNT in Florida and is being heavily guarded by Federal and Military personnel.
Maybe there is still some interesting cargo on board.....hmmm

Quick look at the Thunderbirds flyover, but nice look at the behind the scenes to get them there on the mark in this post from @dave3825
forums.radioreference.com
Thunderbirds Super Bowl
If anyone is interested, this was the Thunderbirds crew on top of the stadium coordinating the flyover. https://fb.watch/qb8SZtn4Ed/
Could someone explain what device the 2 airmen are holding that looks like a hand-actuaed light? Something for guidance?
It is basically an IR type light to line up flight pattern so they are in the right spot, rather than too far right or left putting them in the fireworks. Same as landing lights on a runway.
Thanks - kind of what I thought.
