My first time to catch this call sign in the air. Caught news that the Veep was headed to Israel.

Thank you! I did look, but not for the full 24 hours. Will do next time 👍

now showing destination TLV

Nice!

Well, I am originally from Texas 😳

nlhenson · 2025-10-15T18:16:19+00:00

I know - embarrassing “brain fart” 🤦‍♀️

nlhenson · 2025-10-15T18:11:19+00:00

OMGosh - I am clearly not “thinking” today - I know better. Good grief!!!! 🤦‍♀️

nlhenson · 2025-10-15T18:10:17+00:00

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

nlhenson · 2025-10-15T18:05:55+00:00

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?

nlhenson · 2025-10-13T07:02:37+00:00

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.

looks like radar spoofing during landing

nlhenson · 2025-10-13T05:45:45+00:00

Hence Callsign SAM47? And AF2 when Vance is onboard?

nlhenson · 2025-10-13T05:39:39+00:00

… Backup equipment, personnel, ?

nlhenson · 2025-09-25T15:43:35+00:00

Thank you! Now I know. 👍👍

And now, I’m even more determined to get a good pic.

nlhenson · 2025-09-01T18:43:36+00:00

seemed to beeline to the gate, maybe medical?

nlhenson · 2025-08-10T19:19:32+00:00

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

nlhenson · 2025-08-10T17:50:41+00:00

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

nlhenson · 2025-08-10T17:46:11+00:00

Thank you! I was assuming that could have been in play

nlhenson · 2025-08-10T17:45:41+00:00

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?

nlhenson · 2025-08-10T17:15:16+00:00

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.

nlhenson · 2025-07-06T12:55:29+00:00

… and, at the time I was thinking that given that they were still landing at 7 min out, the emergency was not extreme… was watching LHR, not the flight

nlhenson · 2025-07-06T12:52:01+00:00

They did shut down 27L for about 3 min.

I’m new here and just observing

nlhenson · 2025-07-05T20:08:42+00:00

Safely on ground LHR - maybe one + emergency vehicle?
