Statement from Nancy Pelosi.

The only outrageous and frightening mistake was the one Pelosi made for 1/6/21 when she refused the Trump offer of sending NG troops in to protect the capital. Let's put more incompatible digital/encrypted radio systems in place to make more interop comms non-interoptable.

Unfortunately - not quite accurate according to multiple sources - regardless of whatever party was in power - you do not go into the US Capitol building and do what the people did there. I would have made the same comment had the Republicans won the White House again and the Democrats stormed the Capitol or the White House. Our country is better than that behavior.

AF1 VC-25A 82-8000 and SAM46 C-32A 09-0016 out of ADW headed to Portland then Seattle for an overnight. Given the distance and length of trip, would not be surprised if SAM18 (another C-32A) went along as the evacuation plane, forward stationed at another airport.

Also, VPOTUS is going LAX-SFO today on C-32As 98-0001 and 99-0004. Lots of 89th airplanes on the west coast today.

I see a C-32 trailing the VC-25.

Tanker Air/Air is 228.125 (127 ARS)

Thanks. That's the only 127 ARS freq I know. I had it up but never heard anything. I guess I missed them (crappy reception).

I'm not to sure about multiple sources being more legit than just a few.

No dog in this paticular show, except multiple being better than honest.

Thanks

1758- DUECE 31 flight of 2 checking in on Matawan 350.3, guessing B-52's by the sound. Nothing showing on screen.
Hearing that 250.25 solid signal here. Talking about targets. Prob the buffs.

[AirScan]

Got them up here in New England now.

1854- handed off to ZQM 368.500, sounds like that UHF didnt work, now on VHF LiveATC 123.900 ZQM, then told to try 294.500, that didn't work either, now on 270.800 and it's working.

1859- Cleared into restricted airspace and cleared to switch to operational frequencies.

 

[jetcrafter]

Going back to CYD703 for the 3rd time ? If so you will hear them here LiveATC 123.900 ZQM

2253z
Yes, I just heard them check in with Moncton Center on 368.5
