A C-32A has just departed JB Andrews headed ... somewhere.

https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae4aea

It's headed southwest. Atlanta? Fort Bragg? Beats me.

It has that weird doppelgänger plane with it. I don't know what causes that artifact, but I am certain that this is only one aircraft.

Too small. A C-32A is a Boeing 757. Trump would be one of the two VC-25s. mahatmakanejeeves Oct 2025 #5
Hmmm. Trump did go to Florida, but he was scheduled to leave at 3:00 p.m. mahatmakanejeeves Oct 2025 #9
Could that be Trump's personal 757? keep_left Oct 2025 #18

Didn't he just get back from the Middle East a couple days ago? Probably still jet-lagged.

This could be Truck Stop Hooker Barbie or Pete Hegseth; someone on the level of a department secretary.

Trump will take a C-32A when he's headed directly to Bedminster, as the closest airport is too small for a VC-25.

This might be Trump leaving late, or it might be somebody else. I'll check the usual planes.

https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=adfadf8

https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=adfadf9

Okay. He was probably on that one, but neither plane was operating with a callsign. If Trump were on the VC-25, it should have the callsign AF1.

So who's on the C-32A?

I'm 90% certain that his private jet is a 757. It was recently restored, having sat on the tarmac in Westchester County (NY) for several years.

The plane is just now crossing the Georgia-Florida line, close to Jacksonville. It's gone from 30,000 down to 28,000 feet.

Thanks.

I'm trying to look at ten things at a time now.

MacDill might be the answer. The plane is definitely headed for some installation on the west coast of Florida. It's still descending.

Maybe it's Pete Hegseth, headed to rip the epaulets off ADM Holsey, accompanied by several television crews.

Thanks.

It Trump thinks he'll escape the protests by going to WPB, he's mistaken.

Have a great weekend.

Trump has a big event at Mar a Lago this weekend, we’re looking forward to going to the Palm Beach No Kings Protest tomorrow.
