You can see the restricted zones at SkyVector (SkyVector: Flight Planning / Aeronautical Charts) under the World VFR view and World HI. The World High will show the ARTCC demarcations.
CLEAN 27 landed in Bangor.
CLEAN 7 16 landed at Pease
CLEAN 26 appears to be continuing south.
As @MUTNAV said, any plane POTUS is on carries the ONE designation prefixed by service name (Air Force, Army, Marine, Navy), or EXECUTIVE ONE if commercial plane. While the two larger planes (82-8000 & 92-9000) are best known there are also several smaller planes commonly used as Air Force One as well (09-0015 to 09-0017 most notable).
Marine Squadron HMX-1 has a fleet of Marine helos, callsign Nighthawk when POTUS is not aboard, available to transport him and usually fly using TIS-B which does not broadcast publicly available aircraft identification (usually shown as a six digit identifier starting with ~) or with the parrot (squawk) turned off.
Guess those 6 thirsty F-15's sucked those 4 tankers dry
CLEAN-26 trying to make it home to McGuire flying unusually low at 17k and slow 250 knots since passing Nova Scotia...Maybe a Press problem?

On Friday, October 28, there will be a joint POTUS/VP visit to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, it isn't too often both are in the same place outside of Washington.

There’s also the FAA SUA Website that will show areas that are active.
You used to be able to download the GIANT KILLER (FACSFAC VACAPES) Operation Manual from the Navy website, that had detailed maps and procedures for each area. But I can‘t find a current link to it anymore. Anyone ? Seems like the Navy has blocked it from public access ?

Yow,
Sure about 237.25? If so, is new A2A for ADW F-16s. OOPS !!, I see I have it in my milair freq list. Haven't heard that one used in years--maybe because I didn't have it in my scanners DUH !!!!!
1329--Yep, hearing them now. Nice catch.

Clean26 has problem with boom. They have been on phone with boeing. They have been circling north of ACY. They are heading in for landing now at WRI.
Guess why it was flying so low and slow coming in from Nova Scotia.
Wonder if boom got dragged on runway on way in?
Seems this has happened recently before.
