Two planes left JB Andrews headed west at about 5:00 p.m.

One of them is a VC-25, the plane often referred to as AF1

The other is a C-32A, which is a 757.

Their paths started diverging soon after departure, when they were over eastern West Virginia.. The VC-25 is definitely on a course that will take it to Iowa. The C-32A is on a more southerly course.

Neither one has a callsign.

Who’s on it? Where is it going?

1. Trump is in Des Moines tonight

Speaking at the America250 rally at Iowa State Fairgrounds.

Has to be related.

2. Yeah, got that. It's the other plane that has me curious. NT

3. Ahh ... gotcha!

I just checked the event’s website. Several of his cabinet are slated to be there as well. My bet would be it’s one of those cats on the other plane. Or Vance. They don’t travel together/on the same aircraft, right?

4. Probably Vance headed to YMCAlligator to relish in the cruelty. Nothing says...

...Independence Day like locking people up in cages.

5. Check TFRs. The ones labeled VIP would be either Krasnov or Couchboy.

6. The C-32A is now over St. Louis.

There’s been a helicopter flying around over central Iowa this afternoon. It has the look that it has been checking out power lines or pipelines.

Edited: its earlier flight path has been removed. It had been up around Waverly, Cedar Falls, and Waterloo.

7. Slob is likely heading to Iowa. Saw a post about this.

No idea on timing, though.

8. I'll bet that C-32A is headed to Whiteman AFB.

It is below 18,000 feet now. A 767 has been flying in circles over Whiteman for some time.
