that plane is doing circles over NJ. Gives an altitude but no speed. There's no TFR over NJ either. Biden has no schedule today. hhmmm...

Edit: his schedule is now up.

Just fyi, Fridays are generally the slowest flying day of the work week. This way maintenance crews don't surrender their weekends to make aircraft ready for Monday. In stead they fix them Friday, making them available for flight on Mondays.

Lots of traffic on Friday is abnormal but isn't, in of itself, indicative of anything happening.

How many planes were up during the past few? I recall 1400 back in Nov or Dec.

I'd been trying to watch. What do you think ahppened between 3 and 3:30 when the number dropped by 500?

No Thanks needed Patriot, I was in and out all week this week was pretty busy so did quick posts and quick checks, But I never seen that many up in the air in the past, all of Florida to the panhandle you could not see the State, and this went up the east coast to NY, Alabama was heavy as were Texas, Oklahoma, and NM and AZ, and from Ca to Wa state it was loaded, with spots in Co covered, some activity in Maine and We and Mi and Mn. seemed that way for three days, and today appeared light compared to the prior three days, I was not home at the time you are asking about. They either landed or went dark I would suspect from what you are saying.

So fing what? Why do people think they can look at aircraft schedules and suddenly believe they know anything about anything? At least you got your user name CLOSE to correct: ChefDick
