He said it was evens, not bad considering it was widely reported he was going to Florida.

ah brilliant I only had 20 quid on it but its always nice to beat the bookies regardless of winnings. I was more concerned that he would go on some long rant of a speech at Andrews Airbase and it would be delayed. Thankfully not

I must have missed it earlier as the ADSB feeds appeared jumpy around Washington for a time.

They have a K35R (refueling tanker) and another hellicopter circling Andrews' to make sure he departs (on time).

He is onboard and the doors are closed, should be airborne within 20 mins.
Looks like you are good. (currently 8.55am EST)

Low possibility of 21 gun salute or a military parade.

There's a SAM flight which departed Andrews and looks to be on the way to Florida, but it's only a Gulfstream; hardly large enough for the egos from Washington?

cheers, will use that site. Would the call sign be USAF1? Not even sure yet if it will make it to land in Palm Beach Florida by 12pm but hoping so to win the bet. Its set to depart a military airfield in Maryland after an 8am farewell reception so its all on how long he stays at the reception for, hopefully not too long! I believe Maryland to Palm Beach, Flordia is some 1,000 odd miles so about 2.5 hours flying time.

His time as president ends at 12pm as per the US constitution.

Yeah I think it has to be airborne before 12pm for him to be allowed to use it for one last flight. But the bet is 'Where will Trump be at 12pm EST on 20th Jan' and I went with Florida at evens. Scotland was 10/1, Ireland 100/1 but Florida the obvious pick, he will like be at his golf course as Biden id getting sworn in. When I laid it all indications were he would depart tonight but that has since changed. Given its Paddy Power I want him on the ground in Florida rather than just in Florida airspace. I need it to be taking off by 9.30am EST to stand a chance of that happening and his farewell reception begins at the military airfield at 8am. Hopefully he doesnt hang around long for it but theres rumours of a 21 gun salute and military parade so it will be tight.

Was reading that one set of the nuclear codes will be on the plane and another set close to Biden. At 12pm the set on Air Force 1 will deactivate and the set in Washington takes over.

@CivMilAir does updates of AF1 updates on Twitter

It should be AF1 until 12pm then SAM45 after that if necessary I believe.

Tune into CNN it’s usually trackable but use adsbexchange rather than FR24 or FlightAware.

Does anyone know is US Air Force 1 tracked on Flightradar? Ive got a bet on with Paddy Power that Trump will be in Florida by 12pm Eastern Standard Time tomorrow and its going to be tight for time if he makes it before then or not. If its not tracked how could you find out what time the plane lands at?

Flight radar has filters on displayed aircraft.... it will not display a lot of military and government aircraft... some private flights are on the list too....

It is a consolidation of various monitors of ADSB transmissions (Mode S Extended Squitter) ....

Not all aircraft have Mode S ES enabled, so don't churn out GPS co-ordinates which are easily trackable....

All one has to do is write to FR24 and ask them to block your aircraft, it might still show as a type but with no data. ADSBEXCHANGE refuses to accept such requests.

Isn’t ADSB-V2 (DO-26-B) mandated for Europe these days ?

Muahahaha

Ryanair have an aircraft based at Ponta Delgada in the Azores so have a number of routes to there.

The aircraft would need to have HF radios. HF is still required on T9 and T290 as well under the new regulations.

HF is indeed required on all the Tangos west of Brest Airspace. The DLM / HLA made FANS mandatory on the entire NAT between FL290 and FL410. The VHF was brought in on T290 / T9 to get around this by being available for emergency intervention only I believe. The FANS mandate has been suspended on the NAT anyway since COVID started to facilitate older aircraft, as traffic is down by approx 70%. Incidentally at least one DUB based RYR B738 is equipped with FANS according to their flight plans, no idea whether they actually use it or not, it isn't like they need to due the above suspension.

G-VCRU departed LHR for DUB at 1620 this evening. It hasn't been in DUB very long, less than 2 hours.

Not sure - I live about 1 mile from the loops in that flight, but there was a huge fire up there about 5 days ago when all the dry mountain grass went up perhaps they were having a look. Not seen any rescuers on foot, they normally walk straight though my land if they go up there.

Probably rescuing climbers ignoring their 5k limit and climbing in bad weather.

The antenna, wiring, flight deck radio tuning panels, etc are integral elements of the aircraft as certified and can't just be removed. Only the transceiver from the E&E bay is easily 'removable'.

arccosh

You're both correct, I've been misled...

The removal of HF equipment was a thing though.... but, as shown some (presumably all) now keep the HF kit

Tango routes don't require HF, they are procedural airspace (supplemented by ADS-C) ....
(edit - not all, some do, T9 and T290 being procedural)

Well, should say they mostly were, there is a new VHF frequency that covers a good chunk of it with radio stations in Cork and Spain, minimising the area of procedural airspace (procedural mean no comms required)....

edit: meant to add, HF equipment is removed as a weight saving exercise..... radios, antenna, wiring etc... equates to 2 or 3 passengers.

Unless something has changed since I’ve been off...?

T9 and T290 still require at least 1 HF, even though it may not be used on the short duration within Shanwick.

T13, T213 and T16 still require HF too.
