Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2020

[BM82557]

Rosalie is up for sale..

Pardon Our Interruption

That's a bargain compared to this Twin Mustang --

You Can Buy The World's Only Flyable P-82 Twin Mustang For $12,000,000

The only thing better than a Mustang is a Twin Mustang! One of the rarest warbirds is up for sale. It isn't cheap, but it's truly one of a kind.

Bet if the B52 popped off a bunch of flares it would have certainly woke them up.

Seems a NATO trap according to Forbes article... Russia gets intercept practice and NATO gets Sig intelligence.
May be a good trade off.

A U.S. Air Force B-52 Just Set Another Intelligence Trap For The Russians

On Friday, a U. S. Air Force B-52 bomber flew through Ukrainian air space near the Black Sea. It was bait for the Russians.

Normally with with TFR like that with FL restricted only below 3k feet it is the VP or
someone like that.. Potus usually shows TFR for 18k feet and below. Guess msn picked up on this TFR.

Is Vice President Pence back in Vermont for Labor Day? Sure looks like it.

The only SAM flight I could find into Rutland (KRUT) on Friday was SAM 333, GLF5, 18-1947, landing around 1400 Local (1800 UTC). The "333" callsign was confirmed on LiveATC, never heard "Air Force 2". Maybe on "vacation" they don't get to use the "Air Force 2" callsign, or just trying to be discreet ? The article from last year showed him arriving on a GLF5. Or there was a second flight I missed ?

 

[RaleighGuy]

Using the 3K feet limit, looks like AF2 headed to...

Lacrosse, Wisconsin

0/5366 NOTAM Details

Tuesday AF1 off to West Palm Beach/Jupiter FL in the afternoon (2pm arrival) and Winston-Salem NC in the evening (7pm rally).

I think he is going to Quantico like the others this morning. If so, gonna be a crowded flight line.

Looks like I was mistaken about Quantico. He's gaining alt and heading north. At 1115 working ZDC Hagerstown cleared to FL300.

1120- Reach 826T off Quantico.
