Expect a C-32A off ADW headed west, then down under tomorrow afternoon:

0830 C-32 # 09-0018 off ADW heading west. Blinken?

It looks to me like C-32A 98-0002 SAM 978 doing preflight checks right now at Andrews might be Secretary Blinken's plane.

SAM 978 on the way to Oz with, I'm guessing, a fuel stop in Honolulu or maybe Kona (the mechanic there always had those great bags of locally grown coffee at a reasonable price ).

Wow, you were right, looks like they made a stop at Travis AFB and will still get gas in Honolulu. Some of the lower profile flights like a C-32B yesterday seem to make the Kona pit stop instead.
