OT: Getting busy already in DC
I imagine C-32 flying from Andrews to KILG on Jan 20.. Short hop. KILG will be mobbed with Press.
Still not using new USMC VH-92 chopper at the WH landing site.

Yes, it's quite obvious the amount of work put into this list and it is greatly appreciated. And I am aware of what needs to be done to extract what I need from it. My question was in regard to another list out there that could be easily imported, that someone else has, and can share. You never know until you ask.
Have a good day.
On Monday, January 6, the President and First Lady will travel to Los Angeles, California.
On Tuesday, January 7, the President will then travel to Eastern Coachella Valley, California.

Its about protecting the office not the person.
DEVIL-11 flight off headed to Duke MOA I think and A/A 298.600
Everyone keeps trying that ZNY 323.300 freq with no joy.Now on ZNY 306.200>Harrisburg appch
WILD-11 coming East or South at 7k on ZDC 360.700 and A/A 143.600 am and finally GK 255.000
Keep seeing Potus support type C-17's in and out of Dobbins Ga.. FAMUS-09 C-17 #07-7175 inbound Dover from there.

The Cape site in Florida is normally used up to a maxiumum of 55 degree inclination orbits for northbound launches - otherwise the trajectory would be over the US east coast and that is not permitted. Southbound is a bit more open but for most polar launches they use Vandenburg AFB in CA and launch south since there is nothing but water that direction.We have had rockets shoot right up the East coast for more polar orbits. I don't think 3 degrees difference will mean anything
as as long it is over the water.
Don't forget Wallops Island
Top secret launch coming up in March.. Wallops Island Launch Schedule
Actually the 3 degrees means a lot - both fuel and payload wise. That was one of the reasons SpaceX picked the Boca Chica location as it was further south than any other continetnal point in the US. The closer you are to the equator the more the Earth helps in the launch.
From the Northwestern.edu website as an example of explaination
Why is it better to launch a spaceship from near the equator?
When a spacecraft is launched into orbit, it should end up spinning around the Earth quickly enough not to be pulled back in by the Earth's gravity. The huge rockets used in launching a spaceship help this to happen by giving a huge amount of thrust, enough to achieve escape velocity. However, the spin of the Earth itself can help give it a push as well. Anything on the surface of the Earth at the equator is already moving at 1670 kilometers per hour. If a ship is launched from the equator it goes up into space, and it is also moving around the Earth at the same speed it was moving before launching. This is because of inertia. This speed will help the spacecraft keep up a good enough speed to stay in orbit.
Why the equator? Believe it or not, the surface of the Earth is traveling faster there. If you look at two spots on one line from pole to pole, one spot on the equator and the other halfway to the pole, each will make a complete revolution in 24 hours and return to where it was. But since the Earth's shape is round, and the widest point is at the equator the spot on the equator would have to go more miles in that twenty four hours. That means that the land is moving faster at the equator than any other place on the surface of the Earth.
and this note about the Apollo program from another site .....take a look at the percentage !!
Furthermore, launches directly into equatorial orbit eliminate the need for costly adjustments to a spacecraft's launch trajectory. The maneuver to reach the 5° inclination of the Moon's orbit from the 28° N latitude of Cape Canaveral was originally estimated to reduce the payload capacity of the Apollo Program's Saturn V rocket by as much as 80%
Pretty good antenna farm on that rooftop
Seems in reference to Dobbins C-17 visits VIP TFR to Atlanta Jan 4 and Jan 7.

Not sure, but probably in the last week or so.
probably having this located there adds to the antenna farm requirementPretty good antenna farm on that rooftop

and the one on Route 1 in Delaware
Well DSP hasn't operated Bell 407s for years, and the leaves on the trees indicate it's a different season.

Thanks for pointing that out. Will check with my spotter friend and see what he says.
In the FAA registry N75SP shows no valid record.
N165SP is registered to Southern University of Utah.

Looks like they are from his personal collection. I didn't think to ask him at first. Apologies in my part.

F-22 Demo Team did a practice demo over NAS Oceana around 1500 today. Wasn’t aggressive, more or less looked like they were going through the motions. I know this past season was Razz’s last so maybe it was the new pilot getting in the saddle to start training up for their certification demo for the ACC Commander in the coming months prior to show season. Nonetheless, great way to go into the weekend.

Unfortunately did not have my scanner on me, happened to see them as I left the gym so caught the last half of it. I tuned into LiveATC on my phone and heard Raptor1 getting clearance from Oceana tower back to Langley.
I’ll keep an ear out for the next practice and pass what I grab.
