- A SAM flight is a Special Air Mission meaning a high level official is on the plane
- AF1 alternates between 2 different flights reg number: 82-8000 or 92-9000, but they may be flying a test flight if they aren't putting up the AF1 callsign
- VENUS indicates a training mission
- Neither Kamala or Joe Biden have stepped food on AF1 or AF2 according to our tracking Happy flying!
Hmm... the P8s have seemed to up their presence over the last week. Also interesting to see activity at Offut, it's been fairly quiet compared to normal
Also: I'll try and submit a thread early tomorrow so we don't have "look at these commercial airplanes doing what they are supposed to do!!"
Agreed. The only planes I find interesting overseas is this Those planes seem to be trying pretty hard to hide, although I feel like I saw them last week doing similar patterns. If anything, the US is much higher in military traffic and people in these threads have been reporting things they witness (live ammunition, untracked planes doing patterns over their homes, etc) that points to us ramping up military movement for some reason.
