Reposting from LB ICYMI.

AF1 descending into Helsinki. The previous position I capped 26 minutes ago over Scotland may have been spoofed or stale.

Also saw USAF SAM45, part of POTUS party, arriving in Helsinki a while ago but no cap available.

R7 over

ADSB radar says AF1 is now on the GND in Helsinki. Landed!

Welcome to Finland, POTUS & party.

Godspeed patriots.

Not seen on ADSB or Flightradar24 ATM.

Get me a screencap OK?

Offshore flights that loop are typically refuelling craft. The refuelling pattern is called a "racetrack" because of the oval shape. Find out what kind of plane it is and the registration No.?

Be ready!

Reeeee!

Thanks. I am seeing it on Flightradar24 now. It does not show up on ADSB even with no filters.

Honestly I think it's probably military a/c with its transponder code set wrong. HONOR85 resembles the kind of callsign US military a/c assign themselves.

I could be wrong tho.

I agree the track is rather strange.

Will continue monitoring.

Thanks for report.

R7 over.

Another B752 shown descending into Helsinki, callsign SAM734. One of these has the President on it but frankly I don't think they really want us to know which one it is. Presidential party consists of multiple planes.

R7, over.

Aha. Yes it's military and maybe returning from the recent RIMPAC exercises in Hawaii?

Boeing E-6 Mercury

The Boeing E-6 Mercury is an airborne command post and communications relay based on the Boeing 707-320. The original E-6A manufactured by Boeing's defense division entered service with the United States Navy in July 1989, replacing the EC-130Q. More at Wikipedia

RIMPAC, the Rim of the Pacific Exercise, is the world's largest international maritime warfare exercise. RIMPAC is held ly during June and July of even-numbered years from Honolulu, Hawaii. More at Wikipedia

And yes there could be several of them involved in this exercise.
