Thanks for sharing. Got to practice my Russian.

Lots of pre-flight & landing stuff but a couple of interesting things:

1- Rotation speed on take off was 232 MPh

2. Ground control at take off location spoke accented English.

3. Landing speed was 230 MPh

The female voice on landing is some sort of automated altitude notification system.

Thank you Ron. See, you still have it!

I just watched the 225 land on BigJetTV on Youtube. Guess it's taking off in a few minutes. I'll watch, then I have to get out and work on mowing the yard!

Ed,

I can thank Uncle Sam for my Russian training (1963).

Thanks Mark. It was all over the TV news even down here in the Southern part of the state. They were estimating a crowd of about 1,000! That's crazy! No one has a definite word on where it's off to next or when it's taking off. RUMOR mill says tomorrow. I might take the drive up to see it.

One more just posted crew Vid from the Bangor Inn and Suites to sunrise over Canada Maritimes to parking at Prestwick..
What a crowd at Prestwick! Cars folks all jammed in there. Hope they were wearing their masks :)

While schedule has not been released, POTUS holds a fundraising dinner in South Hampton NY on Aug 8th. AF1 Trip I'm guessing.

Seems Dover currently evacuating a few C-5M's all tracking down to Kelly AFB Texas overnight here.
JUMBO 71 86-0025
RCH 7035 87-0035
RCH 4061 84-0061
RCH 7036 87-0036
RCH 5003 85-0003

That AN-225 had some heavy Oshkosh truck chassis hardware to Israel it seems.
Must be in a hurry not boating them over.
World's largest airplane delivers military chassis from US to Israel

Thanks.. BUNO170 now off Bangor coming South along the East Coast..
Funny callsign short for "build number 170" Used to wonder who was gonna get this Navy number years ago :)
Guess Pax River next or maybe all the way to Pensacola?
I figure Pax guys will do some more checking on this tail but who knows.
1550 local dropping altitude quickly over Boston. Turning North to Hanscom Field then back South landing Logan Boston.
