Some stuff about AF1 and AF2
Joe is AF1 for the first time....we still had Kneepads who departed twice from JBA on Sunday without AF2 as a call sign. Imma guessing that over the last week or longer some negotiations were held (on wut topic idk for sure..not there) but speculating that the AZ audit result is grinding on to expected release on June 14th-Flag Day and 45's B-day so that could very well have been the subject -there are many right? The keeper of the call sign (or higher up most likely) didn't like the answers they got so kneepads left on Sunday w/o AF2 and did not get it back until last night-see crumbs below
Kneepads leaving on Sunday without AF2call sign (was SAM462) and only getting back last night tells me that something was agreed to yesterday and the call sign was returned to kneepads on the trip back from Mexico CIty. It was categorically NOT AF2 on last nights departure-still SAM462...See here >>61310, >>61344, >>61375 pb
Those crumbs have the caps and backup for the trip that started so poorly on Sunday for Kneepads having to return to JBA-at no time was it ever AF2..not on the first depart(Middle Cap on .. >>61375 pb) nor the second. Both departs for her and those stupid cookies were SAM462 and SAM471 was the AC that had the problem and forced both to return
Obviously if kneepads call sign restored then we had the answer this morning as to whether that would apply to Not AF1 Joe...it did. >>61437 pb
Also interdasting that they chose to use 09-0017 C-32A SAM46 as the escort AC and not the other 747 tail #92-9000 which is still MIA btw.
The other missing AC is tail #98-0001 as used as primary AF2 for many years-prior to 45/Pence.
