To think we stayed at Carlyon Bay in an apartment next to the Golf Course in 2019 and all we saw all week was one C17 !
And
No I don’t play Golf.

Just as a matter of interest, has anybody kept a list of every US aircraft involved with this so far? From the countless C-17s and KC-130s to the helicopters - the numbers must be staggering? There's been flights into about 8 different airfields too?
The Vulcan has this log of aircraft that are currently at each position

Thanks, I'd seen that, but they're (for perfectly understandable reasons) removing aircraft once they move on. I'd really like to know how many flights there have been in total as the number just seems crazy - I'm sure the two C-17s I saw into Stansted on Bank Holiday Monday were part of this this as they reportedly offloaded vehicles and there's been many more every day since then.

Why 1 hour 30 mins Mildenhall - St Mawgan/Newquay ? I guess another airport involved and possibly the west country will get a C.32 or 2 instead.

Thanks for posting the schedule

A similar link is here https://factba.se/biden/calendar

The link is updated the every day

Airforce 1 is airborne from Andrews at 8:30AM Eastern seaboard time ( 13:30 bst) according to the schedule

90 minutes sounds like a long time to fly to Cornwall from Mildenhall but surely the trip will be in a jumbo? It would be cruel to make him go in a chopper all that way!

There's a C-32 on the deck at Brize at the moment, or did you mean another C-32 going elsewhere?

C-32 at Brize is the "escape jet" that will stay there for the duration.Should think there will be a C-32 as well that may be part of whats to come over today

The C-32 is probably the traditional 'blood jet' that they like to have nearby

I reckon the Windsor section will be more interesting from an aircraft movements perspective - c'mon let's have some decent Army choppers over.

Is the C-17A at Brize Norton support for the C-32 escape jet?

On a beautiful summer's evening, a helicopter sight seeing flight from MHZ to NQY would probably be an amazing experience for the old boy.

Now the Army CH-47 have cancelled to Northolt it will be interesting to see what supports the VH-3s for the Windsor leg? When trump visited it was 2x VH-60 and a Merlin HC3A

Really?? Quick question. Is there such a thing as Presidential NVG's as I believe the published UK Schedule is BST. & has him transiting MHZ to NQY in the dark? :unsure: :whistle:

He doesn’t need NVG, but something that penetrates fog, it’s not nice down here at the moment and the forecast shows little improvement. So, they might be on plan B
