Edit - yes just reappeared. Can you see the lighter track line over the sea, that was where it was lost/went dark, so who knows if that's AF1 or not. It could simply be lack of coverage or done on purpose?
It did over the ocean, that's not unusual. Once they get too far out to sea to transpond you see that sort of thing. Should become visible again once it gets closer to shore.

Yes correct.
Sure looks that way. RSBN is on the ground so we will know shortly...
Edit: AF1 just reappeared.
I'm hearing from other planefags and it appears that yes, it went dark about 15 minutes ago. Hmmmmmmmmm....
What plane are you watching?
Well, unfortunately, it's gone now. It had a callsign of _8000 or something similar.
It didn't have the AF1 callsign but it took off from near Arlington at the same time that Trump's AF1 took off.
I might have the wrong plane. But I was monitoring the flight maps when Trump's plane took off.
I might have this wrong, though.
It was 82-8000 and now gone just off the coast at Charleston.
That's the one, but it's back now.
Yes.
link?
The one you were watching did.
There's a B752 near Charlotte though that left from DC. Same numbers T used to and from Alamo, TX. 09-0017
82-8000 is back.
That's the one I was was watching.
Yep, it's back.
is that Trump? It turned up on the radar from Arlington at the time that Trump took off on AF1.
I don't know. It could be a decoy.
Yep, it could be.
I guess I'll have to wait for the movie to come out to get the details. haha.
I am still tracking it. 82-8000
Gone from my screen. Was over the ocean...
Yup.
Yes, it's gone dark about 8 mins ago.

I would not be surprised by this in the slightest.
