A couple of HH/MH/CH-53's just flew over Green Brook. Any idea who they are? Is the POTUS in town again?

They were in town the past few days flying around. Sounded like practice runs. They were pointing out different landmarks. I heard them on ATC channels ID as a flight of 3.

Has anyone heard Air Force One working Air Traffic Control Morristown Tower and Newark approach?

Yes last week I heard AF1 call Morristown Tower on final and get clearance to land and that the field was shutdown and TFR was in place. Actually used LIVEATC app to monitor Morristown Tower #1 feed from LBI. Worked good.

It's very challenging for the untrained ear. Mine. To understand exactly what is going on as I listen. They speak very fast and seems like it's all some code I'm not privy to. Maybe there is more to the transmission I am not picking up.

Monitoring NYC from Sea Bright NJ, East Hanover NJ
Most of the discussions center around the bullseye which is the target that has entered into restricted airspace... Heading altitude and range are discussed. Attempted intercepts to force the Target down to land at a nearby airport are discussed.

Bullseye is the center of the CAP.
TOI is the offending aircraft, the target of interest, usually a "track" number is assigned for each TOI.
A "commit" is a TOI that action had to be taken, intercept, etc. Or Huntress tells the fighter to "skip it".
They'll refer to "Kilma" which is a waypoint on aeronautical charts, centered right about where East Brunswick and Edison meet the Raritan River.

Before AR takes place, they'll exchange tail numbers. After AR complete, the tanker tells the fighter how much fuel he took. (in pounds).

It is confusing. Lots of numbers going back and forth.

Also keep the guard frequency in scan 121.5, this is where the fighter tries to hail the violating TOI..
