BLUE 62, MS ANG K35R (59-1453) dep PSM at 13:10 EST westbound. Up at FL320 so not dragging anyone. It had arrived from MEI on the 9th. I thought it might have staged for the Greek F-16 and company but I guess not ? Did they ever make it over ?

Looks like C-5M 87-0036 RCH 851 is rtb Dover after heading off to the Northeast.
Must be a problem. Odd getting static hit here on 342.000 the old Dover metro.

Looks like POTUS is running late again.
Any bets on AF1? 98-0002, 09-0017, 09-0015 ???? My money is on 09-0017.
You can get KHGR on LiveATC.
1751- Eagle 1 (N11PP US Park Police) working airspace security w/ADW tower (118.4)

HUNTSMEN3? Was that correct for Trooper 3? Sounds like he said he was switching to that on HGR TWR.
Looks like 09-0016 is the winner but being trailed closely by unknown 278788 which dropped off.
Guess too late for CAP tonight. Prob pick one up by 6-7am Tomorrow.
09-0016 sure flying low all the way.. Aint there hills up that way?

I believe that 001-003 are used for the VP and VIP officials. 0015-0017 are mostly for POTUS.
Very good you are catching on except 001-003 are also used by State and other high ranking official trips. While 0015-0017 are typically used for backup and small airports, 82-8000 and 92-9000 for longer trips and larger airports
1850 VELA-81 C-17 04-4128 off McGuire SW bound at only FL 2700 feet.
1900 VELA decending to 1100 feet over the South Jersey Pine Barons.
1904 VELA-81 down to FL 600 feet.. skimming the pine trees
1906 VELA turns back NE at only 325 feet.. really skimming the ground.Bet they are waking some campers up out there..
Must be some low level night goggle training. Does not get much darker in South Jersey woods at 350 feet
Bet there may be some phone calls/complaints being made of aircraft in distress.
1920 VELA-81 turned back east over water just offshore and dropped for a minute to 150 feet. Scaring fish
Something tells me this crew having fun.

So looks like 09-0015, 09-0016 & 09-0017 are all equipped with the requisite comms/security gear to act as AF1 when situation calls for it and AF1 back-up.
Boy, the WRI guys are keeping me busy updating my callsign list. Just noticed (1955L) a couple of KC-10s off WRI heading offshore showing no callsign. Anyone catch the callsign?

Pair of unknown McGuire KC-10's heading for the Coast... McGuire KC-10's lately sure don't like
putting their callsigns in anymore..
Rgr yeah VELA-81 flight have heard C-17 pilots say the C-17 handles easily like a large fighter
with that fly by wire joystick control. Computer won't let you make many mistakes either.
I met a McGuire C-17 pilot down the beach 10 years or so ago and She was all of 120 pounds.

I guess I can handle a C-17 then is my point >>LOL
Some of these pilots are more computer engineers than pilots is also my point.
