Is in normal for Military aircraft to fly over a place the President is or is Joe special? Here's the https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae5f9d _______________________________________________________ And no, junior not being able to hold still for 5 seconds is not a disability. | ||

Dunno, not a zoomie…. Maybe it’s unrelated..but I was tasked with Oceanside security for Clinton when he was running and when he won , and they had planes overhead in large station keeper circles..not so close the guy would know. They had a pair of F16s so a tanker would be reasonable also. We just had our cutter and small boat running boaters away from the one mile exclusion area he was at in Savannah Ga "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

It is a tanker, and appears to be flying a refueling track. | |||

Would be it normal or doing it because Biden is there? _______________________________________________________ And no, junior not being able to hold still for 5 seconds is not a disability. | |||

It's out of ex-Pease AFB in Portsmouth NH, home of 157ARW: https://www.157arw.ang.af.mil/ Most likely it belongs to the NH ANG, though it may have flown in from another KC-46 base. The link is now showing a KC-135R from PIT: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae0596 | |||

Yes, SOP. "I, however, place economy among the first and most important republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared." Thomas Jefferson | |||

So, SOP for a president. In the absence of a real one, I guess they just keep going through the motions. | |||

I think there is an air station in the area as well. I was fishing off islands close to Martha’s Vineyard when a group of A-10s started doing practice runs. "You know, Scotland has its own martial arts. Yeah, it's called Fuck You. It's mostly just head butting and then kicking people when they're on the ground." - Charlie MacKenzie (Mike Myers in "So I Married an Axe Murderer") | |||
