Headed their way, the plane Trump is on, without a callsign

empty callsign, https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=adfdf9

A C-17 from JB Andrews landed at West Palm Beach at 10:28 a.m. ET, 12 minutes after the VC-25 headed for Memphis left. It might be there to retrieve Trump's parade of automobiles. You can save money by putting them all in the same plane rather than making separate trips.

Easy to identify those Chinooks when they're anywhere within the horizon; I can usually identify BlackHawks by the sound, but that's it.

The plane Trump is on will be at a much higher altitude.

And good morning.
