A C-32A just took off from JB Andrews. It is headed southwest.
Vance? Nope. It doesn't have a callsign, which would be AF2 if Vance were on board.

(70,734 posts)C-32A is the government designation for a Boeing 757. It's a passenger plane, not a cargo plane.
This is a long way out for a training flight, so I don't think it's that. It's about to land in Greensboro NC.
And good morning.

(70,734 posts)My money is on Kristi Noem scouting out the site for a new concentration camp, "Mayberry Mauthausen."
I'm sure the plane spotters in Greensboro are having fun with this. I wonder if Piedmont Triad ATC is on Broadcastify.

Wrong. 757 now combing through 10000, seemingly leaving. ??!

(70,734 posts)The "small plane accompanying the C-32A" seemed to be a hallucination. The small plane was a doppelgänger of the C-32A. It did not have a separate existence. I've seen that before, also the weird zigzagging at low altitudes.
So it looks as if we're headed back home.

(6,514 posts)Small plane appeared to be 20-30 minutes behind 757. Could be some kind of "ghost", real or generated.
While this was going on, a P-8 was camped over Harrisburg. Could be almost anything going on. I'm always curious when certain kinds of planes are on the move.
