It's a long standing tradition for AF1 pilots to retire or change positions in the military with a new POTUS, so through that lens this is easily a training flight. However, the low fly and the flight pattern is a bit odd, especially since it didn't put up a VENUS callsign, which would indicate NO VIP aboard and that's what the AF2s have been doing today/yesterday
I don't know why they do it. But it seems to happen frequently, even last year.
While not odd, but still of note, is that venus29 and venus30 and the 747 82-8000 all took off in what seemed like minutes of eachother and flew to nearby airports to perform the same manuver. venus40 and venus67 took off shortly thereafter.
Remember if they have their adsb radio on then they want to be seen, they can always turn it off.
Timestamp on the is wouldnt happen to be midnight to 6am roughly this morning. Whitehouse lit up more than usual, then goes dark after large police movement around the whitehouse. Could it of happened between 3-6.
Trump is on it mooning the swamp rats.

Been watching this. I don’t think it’s maintenance flights
maybe doing routine maintenance flights.

Zoom up. "Touch and go" training. Even AF1 pilots have to train to get used to that monster.

Weird. I looked at the altitude from your screenshot of AF1 and is at 175ft, meaning it is making its approach for landing..........
