Are you sure this was Air Force One? It was still parked at Mass Military Reservation (formerly Otis ANGB) as of this morning.

If you mean the VC-25A (82-8000) is parked at Otis, that still works. He was flying in the C-20 (85-0050) to go from MVY to wherever the departure ceremony was so that aircraft became Air Force 1 for the trip.

Air Force One (the BIG plane) has been, and still is, up on MMR as I type. I know this for a fact as I have worked up there all week.

Okay, thanks. That still fits with all the activity heard today though - keeping in mind that any plane the president flies on becomes Air Force 1. He was on the aircraft that normally flies (and later in the day flew) as SAM 50050 so, while he was aboard, it became Air Force 1. That's the only point I was trying to make. The one sitting at Otis, at least for now, is VENUS 01 if it has to fly without the president aboard.

From watching the news it looked like the type of aircraft that he flew in on was a US Air Force Gulfstream III (C20-B). I think two other C20-B's flew in ahead of AF1 with the Callsign SAM.

No problem. Just didn't want folks to think the BIG Plane was used for the weekend's activities.

Sunday - 1235PM EDT - Huntress told Zombie 44 that Harass 54 was Mode C 24040, and Harass 55 was 7376 - I might have reveresed 54 and 55 - Zombie 43 (fuel tanker)was just cleared to the North to go home - Zombie 44 now working apparently - 24,000 feet mentioned - I think that 1 fighter was just relieved also - Huntress coming in OK in Boston at this moment. Fighters at 23 and below. Peter sz

People who understand what "Air Force One" is and is not would not be confused.

Heard just a moment ago on MSP SOPS-1;

Marine One is wheels up, heading to your location. Sounds like they are heading towards Mass Military Reservation (formerly Otis ANGB?)

 

[Junior08]

I think that transmission from MSP was delayed somewhat, as I now can hear Marine One overhead. No way it got up here THAT quickly! Too cloudy to see anything, flight pattern too far away from my location but it was up there just a moment ago.

FAA Tower at MMR 121.0 gave Marine One clearance to land a few minutes ago.

This what I've heard so far:

21:01Z HUNTRESS, 110/78 19k. (228.9)

21:02Z HUNTRESS, Bullseye 111/69, 17k. (228.9)

21:05Z 103/70 19k. (228.9)

Sounds like they are doing some TOI tracking/intercepting, etc.
