Regardless of who the POTUS is - that kind of issue should not have occurred. Would be interesting to read the investigation documents about that one.
An update to this from the pool report:

“The motorcade intentionally took the highway U-turn route to Edinburgh due to airspace issues, according to a White House official.”

Nothing too crazy, but it looks like there may be a flyover happening as part of the festivities for this Saturdays Wisconsin @ Rutgers Football game, as 18-21032 was just flying a low pattern over the stadium.
Given it was out of Lakehurst, I think 18-21032 is not yet in service. I believe the ones there are being fitted with their service-specific equipment before going out to the fleet.

Not sure if this was mentioned, but the VTANG and MAANG both have drill this weekend. And the VTANG will have four Raptors fly up on Friday to join in on the fun. The Raptors are from Langley and they are estimated to leave BTV in the morning on Saturday. I picked a bad weekend to work!

Thanks! Looks like the Lightning 4 ATCAA is scheduled to be active tomorrow from 1400-1600 Zulu (1000-1200 local) which likely means the Barnes F-15s are getting refueled in there during that time slot. I am unable to monitor tomorrow during the day but should be able to this weekend.

Tomorrow afternoon is Colin Powell's funeral at Arlington National Cemetery. So perhaps there could be some sort of flyover.
Not to start a argument but seems past hero's like Astronauts,Generals and other military heroes wait months for Arlington burial.
Sure seems awfully quick here.. I guess some count more than others in this political military establishment.

1955 local getting UHF coms ZNY 322.400 strong.. someone up over Pennsylvania.
2004 local 'Baltimore direct" 322.400. sounded like ? 72.

2055 local RCH 4178 C-17 trying Andrews CP 378.100 no joy.. The other day a couple C-17's inbound from Europe
were talking that you have to land Andrews then call CP on their phone line..
You would think Andrews would update their Base notam by now but the idiotic UHF CP Com "nobody home" show continues.
