Pretty sure that this is the first time Trump's private Boeing 757 has landed at Joint Base Andrews. As president-elect in 2016, his plane flew into Reagan National Airport several times, but to my recollection never Andrews. He's likely landing there for security reasons

Not something you see every day, USAF C-32A in the American Airlines hangar at LAX that was being used as Air Force One taking POTUS to California and most likely to prevent a potential buildup of ash on the aircraft. 😎 🎥 FBJay Turner

NEW: The FAA says a firefighting aircraft was hit by a drone near the Palisades fire on Thursday, but was able to land safely. The agency reminds drone operators that there’s a TFR in place over L.A.

All military helicopters flying along the Potomac River talk to the same air traffic control tower as the planes taking off and landing at DCA. The air traffic controller usually alerts landing planes of passing helicopters, and passing helicopters of landing planes #planecrash

Many of the military helicopters flying in the DC area do not broadcast ADS-B data. The fighter jets flying out of Andrews rarely broadcast ADS-B either

IMPORTANT 👇 - there’s rampant amateur speculation about the helicopter’s ADS-B location signal. It’s common to be turned off in DC, folks. See:

It appears that President Trump’s personal Boeing 757 is parked on the ramp at DCA south of the passenger terminals. He doesn’t use that plane anymore now that he’s president

"There were no distress calls [to PNE air traffic control tower] received from the flight crew...The CVR did not record the accident flight and during the audition it was determined that the CVR had likely not been recording audio for several years."
