Ace of Spades were recently in Ohio for cold wx training as well.
Guessing VMA-231 will be one of the last of the AV-8B squadrons before F-35B's.

Potus visiting Greenbrier WV Thursday for a few hours.
Prob a CAP up and usually a E-3C will visit area as rural mountainous terrain
means sparse low/medium altitude radar coverage around KLWB

8/3066 NOTAM Details

 

[RadioDitch]

Just a thought, besides being sticky, perhaps it should be moved to the Milcom forum also? It has taken on a multi-state coverage.

There is a TFR for Sterling, VA tomorrow 0845 to 1345. Can't find any news about what might be happening. Certainly not golfing weather. Center point doesn't seem like it would be right if he's going to his club, though I haven't checked to see what it was for past TFRs. Anyone know if the coordinates are decimal, DMS or Deg Dec. Minute? None match the radial and distance from the AML VOR.

He's supposed to be heading to FL in the evening.

A visit to US Dept of Interior? Looks like Deg,min,seconds on chart but
can't seem to match them up as well with anything.
Maybe just chopper over to there it is so close.

Looks like time from 1345 local to 1615 local Eastern Time.

Confirmed with a friend of mine that TFR FDC 8/4346 over Sterling, VA is in regards to a POTUS visit.
