Sticky Thread For Mid-Atlantic MilAir 2021

[mdmonitor]

Interesting No VP or State Dept travel scheduled for today, not sure where SAM807 went but SAM770 is currently over Yuma AZ

Noticing something new recently AF2 (today 01-0015 AE115D) has been followed by a backup plane Callsign SAM2A (today 02-0042 AE11F8) currently headed back to JBA from Los Angeles

Maybe VPOTUS wants to make sure she has wings to get to the WH, just in case she's needed

NAS Jax is evacuating. Some heading west to TX, some heading north. Had a group land at KLCK and now another one maybe north towards Detroit.
Also of note, GREYHAWK 45 (AE5E52) conducted AR with JAKE 12 (63-7992) in Snowbird MOA. That confirms AE5E52 as an E-2D.

Rgr posted here this morning

1030 local see a Conga line of 5 Navy P-8A's from Jacksonville headed for Scott AFB it seems.
I guess another Hurrivac.
Also 3 more P-8A,s westbound thru Mississippi maybe going to Texas.

Looks like Thursday evening we will start getting some of that rain here.

1530 local Seems more Jacksonville evacs headed west like you said this afternoon.. Four P-8A's and two P-3C's.

Just had three unknown jets fly over Ann Arbor, MI. They started in Jacksonville, and are on approach for Selfridge ANGB (KMTC).

Appears storms or just the area they are in is giving bad tracking data for AF2 and SAM2A as first AF2 was 100's of miles west of actual location then a few minutes later same happened to SAM2A, buth appear to be tracking correctly on ADSBx now.

Not Mid-Atlantic related, but interesting photos none the less...

Last week First Lady stuck on tarmac due to storm


I told you you left that drink on the nose, I'm not helping clean these windows again!

1735- AF2 & SAM 2A inbound to ADW. Also SAM 782 (C-37 # 99-0402 AE0406) inbound as well. Departed from L.A.

1750- Looks like one of the RCAF P-3s that came though here earlier is now on his way back home. ADS-B showing RCAF P-3 # 140104 heading north through our area. He's currently just south of PAX at FL270

1138- Second RCAF P-3 is just coming into view ( for our area) on ADS-B, is over NYC. So you're probably correct in that these are the two acft working on 303.0. First time I've heard 303.0 in use around here for quite awhile.

Turns out both RCAF P-3s went all they way down to KHSA, Stennis Int'l, MS. No idea why ?

Its a Maintenance Facility. Did they by chance swap tails?

Thanks, I didn't look hard enough the first time. Tyonek Services Group

Looks like 140101 did a round trip and 140106 stayed down there. I didn't notice if another one came back ?

Prob drop off one tail and use other to rtb all crews. Canada has strict Covid program going on so even if first
crew got a commercial flight back would have to quarantine 2 weeks in Canada Hotel ?
They sent an exempt Mil crew pax chaser instead.
Notice on ADXB how few Canadian Airlines are doing US trips.. Most are cross Country Canada only.
