I find it interesting that Pelosi's plane was headed on a beeline to Taiwan, then once it was within a couple of hundred miles it made an abrupt turn to the south to head straight for Singapore. Does an American flight going to Singapore always head straight toward Taiwan first? Seemed unusual.
Monkeywerx was suggesting our own military might nix the Taiwan plan, and perhaps that is what happened.
Did this plane SPAR19 land anywhere else since Hawaii?
I noticed the plane still has its transponder on as it taxis to the gate. I don't know if that's standard procedure, as I have seen most planes shut off the transponder during final approach before landing. Are they trying to make it obvious to the CCP that Pelosi is in Singapore and not Taiwan?
Looks like it flew out of ANC and is en route to Taiwan and being followed by Chinese aircraft...
Both SPAR 19 and SPAR 20 are DC National Guard planes. That has to have some significance. Normally executive support is handled by regular AF. Why wasn't USAF used?
It landed? gee, that's too bad.

There's no way the USAF is going to knowingly sacrifice planes, pilots, and other personnel.
Come on china do the world a solid.

DC National Guard has two of these planes. DC National Guard was activated recently by the mayor for 4000 illegal immigrants.

SPAR19 came back on radar just as it got over the East coast of the Phillipines, now landed in Singapore like the OP said.

Now that they've reached the gate, the transponder was finally shut off. Lights out.
I saw SPAR20 flying from KC to Alaska earlier today
Maybe for the AirShow on Elmdorf?

Looks like the NG is routinely used to fly combatant Commanders and legislators.

Glad to be wrong about that. 👍

What? Taiwan! Taiwan! Taiwan! Taiwan! Taiwan!
Is this her destination, or just a quick stop for more Vodka?
I learned something, and apparently you also. That’s what we do here!
Take her to Orchard Towers to see if anyone will want a quick 10 minutes on top of her, you know someone will.
NB: Orchard Towers = four floors of whores
How would she carry her liquor bottles?
EDIT: I meant cases of liquor bottles. Boy this sounds tricky logistically.
