In recent days we've noticed EAGLE has not been on ADSB when covering a Marine One arrival or the POTUS motorcade to Maryland. Not sure if that is a new thing, or just a glitch.
I've noticed the same thing Andrew. The EAGLEs (and some of the HMX-1 aircraft) still seem to generate an intermittent TIS-B target on ADSBExchange in the DCA, BWI and PHL terminal areas but you have to turn off the military filter to see it.

After requesting entry into P-56A from DCA Tower on 134.35, Park Police helo N11PP EAGLE ONE paints an intermittent TIS-B target as it surveys the Mall, Tidal Basin and White House area prior to a 'VIP Movement'.

NIGHTHAWK ONE is also lifting to enter P-56A, EAGLE has them in sight, will maintain visual separation. NIGHTHAWK ONE will become MARINE ONE when the President boards the aircraft.

NIGHTHAWK TWO and EIGHT lift off Anacostia shortly after MARINE ONE calls 'three minutes to liftoff' on the South Lawn.

Now, MARINE ONE airborne, 'will conduct mission as briefed' on the way to the Secret Service Training Center near Laurel, Maryland where EAGLE ONE is already waiting.

341P local. Somebody on 260.9 "WE ARE DECLARING AN EMERGENCY...WE HAVE LOST AN ENGINE...NO SPARE AIRCRAFT...WILL HAVE TO COORDINATE WITH ATC TO RETURN TO HOME STATION." Nothing further heard on UHF.

It was SWATH 03 talking to HUNTRESS and the NOBLE fighters. They had just gone on station for the CAP at FL240 when they got a fire indication on the number one (left wing) engine. They declared an emergency and landed overweight back at McGuire.

A replacement, SWATH 99, is already on the way.

gear up landing Thursday at GED. Ouch !!! Gonna cost a few pennies to repair that

It looks to me like they went around after hearing the prop scrape, dropped the gear and landed. Notice how the underside of the plane doesn't appear to be damaged. A risky move but it appears to have worked in this case.

I had some colleagues with Pan Am do a gear up touch and go at Tegel Airport in Berlin in a 737 on a checkride with the FAA onboard. It was in the prehistory of social media the 1980s. They were very lucky, scraped off the hydraulics on the engines, had to manually extend the landing gear and use pneumatic braking on the landing. On another day it might have cratered into the town.
