- 2 main planes are used for AF1, but the callsign has to be "AF1" to mean Biden is on.
- 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!
Then there was an Indian plane, as well as another jet that was unspecified heading into DC from the southwest.
Also is it common for a fighter jet registered to the USA to be flying on the Canadian side of the border? That seemed kinda odd to me but I'm only slightly above newbie as far as planefagging goes lol!
