The Good news from all this is that the Angels still using their legacy freqs for the most part.
Was worried with new Hornets that they were maybe using a digital Link system perhaps for close A/A coms
as didn't hear much A/A Northbound.
Blue Angel freqs heard by many of you here.

Looks like PACK-91 cut them loose around Athens Ga and Medusa even earlier.
Just had a NOBLE-71 flight blocking 270 Southbound ZDC 257.700 from Sea Isle 281.450
1652 PACK-91 with McGuire CP 134.100 says cancel our standy PPR as we can get back home now.

Lately some of the backups for close by Potus missions only show up at end
as flyby and rtb back home.. No ground spare needed? Noticed that several times this year.
Ron noted no airspare up to the game but they seemed to have had one as standby at Andrews.

1700- Looks like C-32 # 09-0017 was AF1 back up on standby at ADW. Did a quick flt up to Eastern PA just in case needed when AF1 took off.

1700- SAM 343 (C-37 # 09-0500 AE206D) off ADW heading northeast. Working ZDC Modena (132.525) & ZDC Coyle (121.025).

1720 POTUS not waiting around for end of game. VC-25 # 82-8000 off Stewart & heading home. AF1 checks in at FL220 w/ZNY Harrisburg (133.475). Right after check in someone (prob civilian acft) yells out on freq "We love you Trump".

They told New York that the ceiling was too low. Requested to do some some circles VFR-on-top over West Point to make sure they were heard (132.75). NY just switched them over to 290.35.

That was great US politics will be dull a year down the road with Sleepy Joe.
BTW did you catch the BLUEs depart with Retro early this am... Really got an early start.
BLUE 42 had to spin at Yarmouth for a bit till BLUE 41 caught up with them. Heard BLUE 41,42
with Live ATC Moncton Low as well. Just woke up to use bathroom so poked around and saw
BLUE-42 heading out. That Moncton Controller sounded like the nicest guy in the World.
Slow at 3am so he was helping out anyone he could
