It's only AF1 if the pres is on board.
It wasn't AF1 when the pres went to Alamo TX though
He's stopping by the sports book.
It's fun to watch planes on adsb. But with the military you just don't know. Sometimes you will see planes take off and just circle an airport nearby. Might be practicing or burning fuel to meet some quota.
Sometimes they'll do circles in the middle of nowhere. Might be waiting in a holding pattern. This is often seen when the President or Vice President fly publicly somewhere like a rally since they travel in pairs.
One thing is certain if you can see them on the adsb tracking sites then they know every one else can see them. It is a piece of equipment that they can turn on and off(and even reprogram!)
Looked like It was landing at the international airport (which I thought was odd) but is now just bouncing all around it an weird pattern.
Same here, that's really strange. I am very familiar with South Jersey and it's all over the place. Guess it's transponder issues, but maybe heading to McGuire AFB? The altitude is extremely low though... the Pineys are getting a hell of a view!
right! at one point it was reporting just 700 ft off the ground..
its gone nuts
Pilot wanted some clam chowder.
but NO ONE wants to go to Atlantic City
It's a lot better than it used to be. Now you can venture up to three blocks off the boardwalk without getting shot.
It's not AF1 it's one of the planes they use for AF1, I think it fly's to the Atlantic City Aviation Technical Center for routine maintenance from time to time.
Maybe trump is trying to get some last minute action on winning the presidency?
Do not post AF1 locations even if public info.
Why not? If they want its location private they can turn off the transponder.
Why would you increase POTUS exposure to potential risk at a time like this?
If POTUS was at risk they would turn off AF1's transponder making it so you can not track it. The fact that its transponder is on means that it is not a threat to security that people can thee AF1's location.
I didn't say he was at risk. Why are you justifying increasing his risk?
Some antifa / leftist asshole trawling these forums might go around looking for trouble with info he didn't previously think he would obtain just because some sky watcher wanted to show off.
Not a good time.
Idk man, I think I'm gonna trust the secret service and air force on this one...
Sorry for question but why not?
