JetBlue1770 from Guayaquil to JFK has been calling JFK operations on UHF, I have a dedicated scanner for UHF military only. They called three times but I guess no success. Unfortunately I missed the frequency as I was in the other room. Interesting !

Type listed as an A21N (A321neo). I've never heard of a civilian airliner being UHF equipped, seems unlikely ? Did you have 121.500 in the scanner by any chance ?

The PA ANG KC-135s like to use AR218 for training etc. If they are waiting for an acft to join up for training they will circle around the eastern end of AR128, which is close to Altoona.

From the press briefing today...putting doubt on the beach for now...
"I usually have a week ahead. I will note for all of you that the President -- we expect the President to be here for a few days early next week. As you know, the Senate also is expected to be, and we will keep you updated as we know more specific details about his travel plans."

Also, weekend schedule (or lack of) was released a little while ago and Sunday in-town pool time is noon, but no return info for POTUS.
