Each patient evacuation vehicle can transport 12-16 patients plus more on the medical ambulance bus for at least 36 patients which could explain the length of time on ground.

A C-17 (RCH869) took off from the Middle East, with a stopover in Germany, and landed earlier this evening at Joint Base Andrews. About two hours later, a convoy of three specially equipped medical ambulances, called Patient Evacuation Vehicles, along with an ambulance bus, departed with a large police escort, taking the Beltway to Walter Reed Hospital in Bethesda. Though unconfirmed, these likely are some of the first injured soldiers from the US attack on Iran being brought back to the United States for medical treatment.

@steffanwatkins I have an ADS-B receiver setup. It is part of several MLAT networks. Same receiver, same equipment, receives the aerial signal and feeds the various platforms. We're getting into the minutiae that 0.01% of folks will care about or enjoy.

I think calling it an ads-b receiver is a misnomer tho; most people don't understand how tracking Mode-S/MLAT and ADS-B differ, and why they behave differently "on the map". This is a great example of how they behave differently and don't just "turn off" their transponder, as the usual suspects said, again.

The pictured US Air Force C-17 is #AE2FB0/08-8204 as RCH4150 and was operating with transponder on for the whole trip. There are very few public ADS-B receivers in China, which is why very little traffic shows at any given time. It is for the upcoming POTUS visit though.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 A U.S C-17 was seen landing in Beijing after flying from Joint Base Andrews. It flew with transponders switched off, meaning it couldn't be tracked. It's believed to be carrying equipment for Trump's visit to China, scheduled for 14-15 May. Source: CIG telegra

@steffanwatkins Mode S transmissions are received by ADS-B receivers, for public tracking sites at least.

Steffan Watkins @steffanwatkins·
Can we quibble? It's only "ADS-B" if it's transmitting position data, which it's not, so it's being geolocated by 4 receivers on the ground, which simultaneously have the plane in their line of sight and calculate its position using multilateration of its Mode-S transponder. If 4 receivers are not in LOS, we lose a fix on the plane. You're still right, the transponder was never turned off, the plane went beyond the LOS of the required 4 receivers.

🇨🇳🇺🇸🇮🇷 China just made clear the ceasefire must hold, and both sides must negotiate in good faith. Beijing is demanding Iran lift its Hormuz restrictions, and the U.S. lift its naval blockade, before talks can go anywhere serious. Trump visits China this month. If the Strait stays shut, that conversation gets very uncomfortable, very fast. Source: Al Jazeera

A DD214 only captures active duty service. If someone was a member of the National Guard or Reserves, the years they have obligated to the government are not reflected on the DD214. If you want an idea of obligated service time, you'd need to look at the contract. If you want an idea of actual service performed, look at the retirement points breakdown.

@dollymad1812 @thehill @ChrisVanHollen He needs to show his other DD214 because he claims he served a “decade of military service.” Have you happened to see it? Here’s his USMC DD214 below & he served a 3yrs in the Army National Guard but that still doesn’t equal “10 years overseas” or a “decade of military service.”

The former Qatari 747 #AF83F3/25-3300 (former registration A7-HBJ) has been fully converted into the VC-25B 'bridge' (VC-25B(B)?) aircraft and arrived at TSTC Waco airport, TX on April 20th to begin receiving its new paint scheme. The USAF took delivery of this aircraft less than 1 year ago and will press it into service by the end of the summer. There has not been nearly enough time for the Air Force to have fully swept the aircraft for potential threats and convert the aircraft into the full Air Force 1 standard. It likely lacks many self protection and communications systems that would be required for any overseas visit or to handle a national level crisis while on the move.

@idekatpppp22514 The current Atlantic alert base for the E-6s is NAS Patuxent River, MD which is virtually right on the water. There are a variety of reasons this location was chosen, including the availability of room for the necessary facilities.

@TheIntelFrog Closer to the coast because it’s slower than the E-6 i assume? Also, I’m curious if it will be drogue-refueled or boom-refueled.

The US Navy has published a draft environmental assessment for the new home base of the Atlantic based E-130J Phoenix II TACAMO fleet at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, NC. MCAS Cherry Point was selected from 80 installations across the joint force.

.@Osint613 - what are the odds that you caught the exact same screenshot of .@flightradar24 as .@sentdefender and posted it 11 minutes later? It's not hard to get your own screenshot, but if you do take someone else's, the proper thing to do is credit them.

Hrm. Jetphotos pic by 'Dozhdevik' of brand-new Il-76MD-90A RF-78683 c/n 04-08, seen at St. Petersburg Pulkovo (ULLI) 20260413. Given the last 'new' sequentially seen c/n (04-04) of RF-78679 on jetphotos, this implies at least four MD-90As have been added to RuAF inventory.
