Last track I saw for Air Force One had a sawtooth pattern. Does anyone know if the ADS-B signal has intentional jitter added?

ORDER66 - Airborne Command Post or "Doomsday Plane" flew into Dyess AFB in Abilene, TX yesterday afternoon.

I'm betting the 'naming' of that plane is a Star Wars fan.
Is there any delay with this display like flight aware?

I seldom use Flight Aware, but personally, I think ADS-B Exchange - track aircraft live is a better app to use - both on a PC & on cell/tablet/pad for military-related aircraft.

Some comments:
The 415.700 frequency (one of the "Nationwide" pair) has not been used in over a decade. In fact, the radios were surplused and I actually owned one of them until I gave it away. Thje 363.25 is not an AM frequency but one of the wideband FM ("Northstar"-one word in contract documents) frequencies which use subcarriers. That system now appears to only be used as a backup system.

Call sign changes daily. Each of those planes actually several identities, the callsign (like that one) used for ATC, a tactical callsign (word) used on other networks, and of course it tail number and ADS-B ICAO24 identifier.
AF1 82-8000 and SAM46 09-0016 have departed Andrews and headed to El Paso, about 30 minutes ahead of schedule.

As stated in post #28, link to track both planes also in post 28 above.
Unusual track headed north over Ohio, maybe OTR stop?

Not going to be much for Joe to look at since the EL Paso Police and CBP for a week now have bus hundreds of illegal aliens back into Mexico, clean up the trash, and removed the encampments.
Just a reminder. You’re free to discuss the flight and any radio related stuff, but we’re not delving into any politics.

Okay Kevin, but I thought this was more news than politics. My apologies.

Air Force 1 just disappeared from ADS-B Exchange.
Happens when it reaches an area where there is no coverage
Fort Bliss is an Army base and is unlikely to have a contingent of home based F-15, F-16, or F-22 fighters there.
There are three USAF installations in NM: Kirtland [ALB], Holloman [south], and Cannon [eastern] AFBs. Texas has Laughlin in Del Rio, Dyess in Abilene, Joint Base San Antonio, and Sheppard up north.

So it appears they landed at Area 51? Along with a military helicopter.

Does not show on ADS, maybe they turn off for security reasons. In fact no military aircraft around El Paso.
