    i dont think so its high level officals but i tracked it well it went into kyiv ukraine
     
  2. Oh yeah? With the Putin in Russia trying to invaded Ukraine I guess our government officials are coordinating with Ukraine about what to do with the Russia situation. Russia is a big country, I don't see why they need to take over another one and be bigger.
     
  3. weird i click the link and it had flown in the States recently and it went from being a SAM to a VENUS for the ID.

    most of the russian population is in the western part of Russia like moscow krasnodar st petersburg and other sisters theres a big city in siberia known as novosibirsk i have a few friends that live in russia and one of my friends is currently doing his mandatory 1 year service with the military due to the ukraine problem they want kyiv about crimea crimea has a warm water naval port that russia wanted now they have it
     
  5. I hope things simmer down. it's not a great time for any country to go to war when the economy and supply issues and covid is putting a strain on the whole world. I'm in the US. we've had enough war for a long time.

    VP does not fly with a SAM Designation, i explained that to you before.

    SAM "Special Air Mission" is for Military Brass at Command Levels, Congressional/Senate Delegation Convoys and VIP Transports for Directors of Federal Offices like NSA, CIA, DEA, FIS etc etc.

    Vice President is going to be either AF2 or N/A


    Your track History of that Aircraft shows on that Day it left from Geneva Switzerland and Landed at Andrews AFB. The Track history stopped at the NY/NJ Border because it crossed over midnight that night, the next day shows the remainder of the track, landing at Andrews.

    Part 1 of Track:

    no, C-32's are much more in count than VC-25's

    there are only 2 VC-25's and 6 C-32's

    there are 4 C-23A's which are the VIP,SAM, AF2 Variant.

    The much more secretive C-32B is for "Covered Air" Covert Ops. and only 2 of them exist.

    so its just whatever plane is available and ready for AF2, but of course they can request or quite literally demand one be at the ready on specific dates and time frames.
