Definitely eyebrow raising.
Weather forecast shows a higher chance of snow on Friday than Thursday. https://wwmt.com/weather
Plus Friday is also the virtual G7 conference, which I assume he'll be missing?
After that townhall they really must not trust him.
Think its Centcom Commander returning from the Middle East.
He was in Israel and Bahrain which tracks with the flight history if the plane.
E6 is landing at same time. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae041c
With the E4 Nightwatch appearing to be headed that way as well. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=adfeb6
Looks like the SAM flight might have the Centcom commander. Centcom is located in Tampa.
He's been on a tour of the middle east that matches up with the planes history.
Was going to say the same thing. They both look like they're on approach to Tampa.
Prior flight history has the SAM 737 in the middle east since the 20th.
Going to be real interested to see where Nightwatch is headed. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=adfeb6
Its up out of Omaha and is headed that way. If it lands in Tampa it'll be really interesting.

Just made the turn towards Andrews.
So Biden will be landing at a military base at about the same time Trump's farewell address starts.
This charter flight from Wilmington just landed at Andrews.

Title should have been a link as well.
Are you responding to my prior post about the C17? If you read my comments you'd see I pointed out that particular plane appears to have been assisting with recent presidential and VP trips based on prior flight history.
Another E6-B is up.

I haven't been doing this very long, but this seems like the most I've seen up. But again that's with a watch window of approximately a week. So who knows.
Showing for me as well.
Edit: maybe not its showing on tracker with persistent mode on, but the last seen time was 15 minutes ago, so it has turned off tracking.
All the big boys are up. The E-4B (Gordo). https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=adfeb5
E-6B on east coast. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae041a
E-6B on West coast https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae041b
Both Rivets out of Omaha https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae01cb https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae01c9
Whatever is going on the people of the nearby town of North, South Carolina have to be getting one hell of a (loud) show this morning.
As an aside how much of a PITA must it be to give your address on the phone when you're in North, South Carolina. ?
Hopefully my additional comment is showing up above, which explains.
Its recent flight history has been associated with each of the recent President and VP trips. So I'm assuming its been a vehicle carrier for the motorcade etc.
Maybe it has this week off and is back to training?
This C17 has been circling an Air Force base in South Carolina for a while now. Making super low passes. I keep expecting it to show its landed, but every time its made another circle.
The interesting thing about this plane is I believe its associated with USSS protection/logistics as its been trailing all of the recent President and VP trips. It was back and forth to the wall before and after Trump's visit and then the same with Pence's trip to Fort Drum over the weekend. I've been watching it, expecting it to head to Washington or Wilmington ahead of the inauguration.
Not sure if just training or what, but awfully weird to be doing today.
Only caught the last 15 mins or so, but he basically regurgitated Chinese propaganda in his talking points in regards to their treatment of the Uighers.
Also made an Abbot and Costello type joke about former Chinese President Hu that would have gotten any Republican canceled if they'd made it.
It was par for the course for Biden though I suppose.
