Looks like they made a good call in cancelling the POTUS trip for today.

Since nothing going here decided to tune into a HF remote SDR (Alberta Canada) and do some listening from there.

Nice pics Jack. Thanks! The DC guys are our long time regulars on our radios around Maryland and DC.
The other F-16's are the Atlantic City Devils also often heard here.
Hope you don't mind me sharing your photo link here.. If you get some other nice local Mil type pics like that also
feel free to post here as well.. We have a lot of good fans up and down the East Coast

1945- Coast Guard 101 (C-37 # 01 CGAS Wash) land at DCA. Departed from San Juan PR.

1955- Lucky 42 (KC-46 # 15-46-14 AE5BBF AFRC 916ARW 77ARS Seymour-Johnson AFB NC) transiting area heading north. Working ZDC Linden (133.55).

KC-46 16-46014 LUCKY 42 AE5BBF heading north near Cumberland MD ADSB-X has it as 15-46014 which I think is incorrect @ FL200
KC-46 16-46013 PACK 43 AE5BBE heading south near State College PA @ FL210





Now westbound on AR-218

0905- Air Force 2 (C-40 # 0041 AE11F6) off ADW heading west.

 

[mdmonitor]

0944- Ascot 5808 (RAF C-130 ZH889 99th Sqdn RAF Brize Norton UK.) transiting area heading southwest. Working ZNY Harrisburg (133.475) & ZDC Hagerstown (134.15).

1005- Marine 101 (C-37 # 166378 AE152C) inbound to ADW. Departed from New Haven CT. Usually Marine 101 callsign is used when USMC Commandant is aboard.

1242 - GIANT8369 calling KDOV command post on Victor (134.1 AM). No luck, sounds as though WRI might have replied to relay the message.

Not showing on ADSB.

 

[mdmonitor]

1245- AF1 (C-32 # 09-0016) & SAM 46 (C-32 # 09-0017) off ADW heading northwest. Working ZDC Hagerstown (134.15) & ZOB Imperial (132.125).

Looks like POTUS likes to use C-32s for CONUS trips & VPOTUS uses C-40-s instead of C-32s. Administration trying to save gas?

1255- SAM 593 (C-40 # 01-0040 AE0945) off ADW heading west. Working ZDC Hagerstown (134.15) & ZOB Imperial (132.125). Tagging along behind AF1 & backup?

1439 Uh oh Ron here comes another Pak Air Force C-130 PAAF-214 off Long Island inbound US.
Maybe another engine out priority request landing at BWI?
Sure is slow going at 175 knots. It is windy out there..

This one is a different acft than the last one so we'll see if the old " engine out" routine was real or just a ploy to land quickly.

1445- Shady 13 (MC-12W # 09-00644 AE2F62 224 MI Bn Hunter AAF GA) working Potomac (135.625) for landing at PAX. Departed from Savannah GA. OOPS, he passed over PAX and may be heading for BWI. Yep, he's working Potomac (119.7) and is cleared to land on rwy 33L (119.4)..

If I remember correctly, "GIANT" is Atlas Air, a commercial contractor of the military. I sometimes see them in and out of DOV and WRI
