N11PP EAGLE ONE loiters nearby as MARINE ONE approaches landing on the South Lawn of the White House. MARINE ONE generates a TIS-B target with a phony hex ID starting with a tilde.

North departures are halted at Washington National Airport due to a 'VIP Movement'.

MARINE ONE calls Washington Tower on 134.35 to report 'landing assured'. EAGLE ONE heads back to the Nest.

A tilde? always wondered that sideways looking s thing was called :)
: the mark used to indicate negation in logic and the geometric relation "is similar to" in mathematics

Wiki has VFA-136 as callsign "Gunstar" based at Lemoore NAS but only moved there in 2016 from Oceana
when they moved up to the F/18E model.Nice trip for lobster dinner :)

VIP TFR for Ponte Vedra Beach, Fl (centered at Marriott Sawgrass) for Wednesday (Mar 23)-Friday (Mar 25). Trump or Harris?


Interesting, haven't seen multi-day for Trump since he left office (only for single day events) but surprised that VP would spend multiple days down there with everything going on in DC this week.

Yep, it's been in the hangar there since November 30, 2020. Very few folks in the media (besides you ;)) seem to be aware of that fact.

View attachment 118399
fascinating! I thought for sure it was out of service permanently and that the USAF wanted to keep that under the rug so not to put an extra target on 82-8000. But I guess we will see it operational again sometime! I think the fact that it is now outside of the hanger indicates it will be in the air soon.
