Sorry if this has been posted already but 09-0018 flew to RAF Fairford as RCH041 w/o transponding to support POTUS' trip. Also no messages recently on ACARS.
E-4B FINI 25 unreels a long wire and sends a VLF signal on 31.7 kHz while orbiting over Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
I realize that there is probably a verbose NOTAM published somewhere but I'm surprised that this operation doesn't risk catching another aircraft in the wire.

Looks like my hunch was right. They probably flew 09-0015 as SAM 078 just to throw us off the scent.

1710- Shado 22 (E-6B # 162784 VQ-4 Det) inbound to PAX. Departed from Myrtle Beach.
Nice list Dom.. I always had 234.800 as Vermont ANG A/A but today heard a couple of DC WILD's
on this freq talking A/A about their alpha status codes etc.
This a fairly new freq for them?
KC-46A good to go except for the A-10 ..
Air Force says KC-46 can refuel planes around the world — except one (defensenews.com)

No. It's their ops (Senate) They have been using that for some time. Strange they are using it for their a2a.

Did you guys catch a fighter escort for AF1 and GRIMM coming back from the UK? Some people said they saw fighters around Andrews and TIS hits on the trackers as AF1 approached ADW.
It was quite here today only things i picked up that where milair was a pat828 flight heading to Mcguire on phil app 128.4 and Airfore 1 on Washington center 135.450. Nothing heard on any of my scanners with uhf in them.

As far as I know, 234.8 has always been the 121st FS SOF (callsign Senate) freq It's VHF pair is 139.45 AM. The 121st FS CP/Maintenance callsign is Watergate, Also heard on 139.45/234.8

Andrew,
I was listening at that time and heard a coupe of DC ANG F-16s (Wild flt) in the pattern just before Grimm, 09-0015 & AF1 returned They had been at the PAX range so it could have been them coming back and it looked like an escort mission.
Ron you have that freq on your list also as VT ANG.
Maybe both use it now.
AF1 normally generates a phantom TIS-B target which appears to fly formation with it while in the DC area. Also, several of the jet fighter airshow acts from the weekend, including the Thunderbirds, left Andrews today.
A former colleague who flew right seat on the VC-25A during the 1990s said that often foreign governments, particularly in the Middle East, want to provide a wingtip fighter escort for AF1 on arrival as a sign of respect but the 89th does everything they can to discourage the practice (what could possibly go wrong?).
Here's a couple of examples of the phony AF1 TIS-B wingman from earlier this year.
