All three here?

The first one is not AF1

CameraCoffeeCrochet · 12/05/2025 23:05

Saw these planes fly over Peterborough at lunchtime today and it didn't show up on Adsb. But it looks like airforce1.

This is him, directly behind the USAF planes. As you can see he is not only incognito but also is orange.

Lowering altitude…

The AF1 aircraft didn't leave the US until this PM, and I'm afraid neither of those aircraft in the images look like 747s to me.

HauntedBungalow · 12/05/2025 23:19

Found him (seriously I really think it is - and it's orange too!)

HauntedBungalow · 12/05/2025 23:20

Argh it didn't post

Landed Mildenhall about 19 minutes past the hour.

midlandsmummy123 · 12/05/2025 23:21

I was intrigued but now I''m starting to think that he's just lost - flying around the UK and refusing to ask for directions.

I'd just taken a screenshot of another post to say that it was definitely him as the plane was orange......then saw your comment 😂

Yeah definitely not the same now I'm googling, thanks! I wonder what they were though.

MyOtherProfile · 12/05/2025 23:25

Would we ever hear if he is at Mildenhall?

BrightOrangeDahlias · 12/05/2025 23:25

What are the other planes for? His entourage?

BeNiceWhenItsFinished · 12/05/2025 23:27

Flight N/A is about 20 miles west of Mildenhall / Lakenheath and flightradar says data unavailable but is showing me a photo of AF1 anyway.

BBC posted about it earlier today.

What’s its call sign? Is it as obvious as AF1?

Any aircraft carrying the US president is designated the call sign Airforce 1.

I think.you.might be looking at one of the support aircraft - a Boeing C-32A (basically a military 757).

Those carry the Presidential.blue/white colour scheme just like AF1 and do show on flight radar.

AF1 is usually one of two specially equipped 747s...haven"t seen one on any of the screensnap shots so far but I looking at a small screen

Flightradar doesn't normally show it, some of the other tracking sites such as ADS-B exchange do.

Edited

This.

Theres always two so no one knows which one the president is on.

KnickerlessParsons · 12/05/2025 23:33

Have a look at this one. Not The Donald, but weird none the less

This dangerous, moronic narcissist already occupies so much of the world’s collective mental space, and now he’s lumbering around in our air space too?

HauntedBungalow · 12/05/2025 23:35

The first empty call sign one has landed and these two here are just about to as well
