Looks like Obama will be here tonight and early tomorrow. As if traffic wasnt going to be enough with the BA's here this weekend.

Arriving SFO tonight from Oregon at about 8pm and going to a fundraiser dinner at a private residence. Leaving tomorrow about noon after a visit to the Warfield for a music concert fundraiser

Guess that is the reason the Blue Angels are at Oakland and not SFO this year.

 

[kma371]

Eh I don't know about that. BA's have their own TFR for fleet week and they have parked at Oakland in the past.

 

[kma371]

And they're doing the curly shuffle. ATC just told aircraft, holds could be 45 mins or more, to which the aircraft told ATC he wasn't going to hold that long...

 

[kma371]

And from my location in the valley I can see at least 8 aircraft holding. Sucks for them

The local news reported that he'll be back in LA on Saturday. A lot of people are already pitching a fit because of the bad traffic it will bring. He's supposed to land around 1 PM. I'll be listening to ATC for when they put inbound aircraft on hold until AF1 lands.

I have a friend who works for United at SFO and the last few years they parked at United's shop area.

Not disputing they park at SFO, just saying its not unusual they are at Oakland.

Anyone picking up any radio traffic related to this? I assume Secret Service channels are active (assuming as well encrypted).

 

[kma371]

Wheels up as of about 10 minutes ago. I only logged activity on USSS 164.400, but it was encrypted.
