Assuming date of video is correct - today 09 Mar 2021 - the motorcade: https://youtu.be/fy-jpV6D7cE
Direction motorcade was traveling at POV of source - the arrow indicates both area of POV and direction of travel: https://files.catbox.moe/lg8a1m.GIF
Xiden motorcade looked to be heading out of the city. Certainly the wrong direction in relation of White House to WS Jenks Hardware in NE - where Xiden traveled to today: https://files.catbox.moe/ptg6ii.GIF
The HMX helos I have no idea where they were coming from. Looked to be from VA side, not JBAB.
I was under the impression they only fly to Andrews so POTUS can board AF1 there.
BTW, have you noticed what I can only assume is the old AF1 parked at the MGM casino on other side of the bridge? It’s been there for years now, I just find that it’s parked there a bit strange.
Are you talking about the AF1 parked in National Harbor? If so, it's been there for years and is supposedly a replica. At least that's what Ive been told. Been to the Gaylord there many times for work and that bird showed up a few years ago. I asked about it one time and was told by gaylord staff it was a replica but nonetheless a pretty true to life one. So much so that they don't allow photography inside. I guess you can buy tickets to take a tour. I've never done it and never asked again after being told it was a replica. I've also never actually looked to see if what I was told was fact or total uninformed horseshit. I was also told that it arrived in sections and was put together there where it sits. That part certainly seemed plausible to me.
HMX-1 operates out of both JBAB and Quantico. No way of really knowing, but the birds probably came up from Quantico.

Ah, good find. Although the article says it will be there until 19 October 2018. It’s still there today.
Probably too expensive to relocate it.
Possible I guess. Just seems strange since it doesn’t even look like it’s in a good spot for tours... it’s kind of just parked in a back corner of the property.
I remember seeing that from the plane while flying into DC and wondering "what the heck is AF1 doing THERE?"
