Air Force 1

Tailwinds · March 30, 2009, 09:48:47 PM

As you know, Air Force 1 is due to land at Stanstead some time tomorrow. I know it won't be plotted on the map but will I be able to see Air Force 1 show up in the ANRB list?

Morning all,
Anyone got his lordship on track coming over from USA yet? I have mine on and have nothing yet. Been told by a friend that he might have an ecsort of 4 F15,S A C150 and some choppers on standby near Stanstead?.

Got my box on as well but can't see anything yet either. Could be too early yet. He's due to arrive at Stanstead early evening approx 7pm so I've been reading.

Did anyone over the 'other side' of the pond catch him leaving?
Which of the Atlantic routes is active at present for West-East traffic?
Could give us an idea of his inbound route ... via Iceland?
Intended landfall Scotland or Ireland?......
So who could see him!!!

Obama just boarded AF1 at Andrews.

Hi

Airbourne at 1333A so WAL at 1951A if he follows UAL9888

Callsign AF1 now tracking on Planeplotter, ModeS code is ADFDF8, reg: 82-8000, a B742 at FL170.

Not ADS/B of course.

I guess the Secret Service won't be too pleased with that considering the FAA Data feed is not showing the flight as its listed as military.

Well, maybe they shouldn't transmit the Flight ID as AF1 - it's pretty obvious!!

And with the multilateration trials currently taking place with Planeplotter, we may even be able to track the approximate position of AF1 ;)
