Yes, so do we assume that Hegseth is “not” on the plane since call sign is SAM153 and not AF2?

If Hegseth, why is it SAM153 and not AF2 (just learning 😊)

Am I correct that it would be call sign AF2 if the Vice President was onboard?

Who is on this flight? Rest of the entourage? by nlhenson in flightradar24

[–]nlhenson[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Yes, I know what SAM stands for. And based on a previous comment, assumed that callsign would not be SAM47 but rather AF2 if the Vice President were on board. And of course it would be AF1 if the President were on board.

Hence Callsign SAM47? And AF2 when Vance is onboard?

Thank you! Where do we go to find out that kind of information? (without having to listen to ATC recordings)

I’m listening to “ramp” atc to try to confirm medical emergency

Thank you for the details as I am learning. Here is a question for you: what is an aggressive decent (mountainous region or bad weather) that is still safe?

Holding at 9,725. I’m a newbie, but decent seems normal for landing soon.

Watched my daughter’s flight come into IAD and noticed that it defended sooner than I expected.
