Not for peacetime anyway. We are already at war

There usually isn't one. Bush had one f16 on 9/11 due to the threat of other aircraft.

Absolutely not; the only times where there is an escort much less a legion is when there are credible threats present.

Imagining it must be an immense threat if there are this many.

Maybe something like the enemy has all the codes for our warheads, or something? Or our anti-air?

Something like that?

Which one(s) included AF1? I tried to google to find a longer length video of this and found multiple flyover events last April/May but none listed AF1. I'd love to see more footage of this.

Yesterday.

My military opinion is this is a result of launch codes being comped

ew gross. from cyber breach? hopefully just exercises...

Just my first thought. It's low and slow so looks like landing.

Got to be able to intercept multiple threats.

But my mind goes to worse case everytime.

Could also be a show of force as we call it.

Let DC know

Which branch are/were you in and why are you insisting this is an exercise involving AF1 (it's not), and not the May flyover with aircraft from Luke AFB honoring first responders?
