...as Trump announces he has COVID-19 with plane spotters suggesting
it is 'a show of strength to not mess with the US'

*Early Friday morning, two military planes, E-6B Mercuries, were
spotted flying over Washington, DC and Oregon

*These planes typically carry instructions from the National Command
Authority to fleets of ballistic missile submarines

*The flyovers occurred minutes before President Donald Trump and First
Lady Melania Trump announced they had tested positive for the
coronavirus

*Most military aircraft fly with their transponders off, but the two
planes launched with their transponders on, allowing them to be
publicly tracked

*Plane spotters believe the flyover was a warning to America's enemies
to not attack and 'a show of strength'



Why? Trump's friends (Russia, N Korea)
wouldn't attack Trump's America, and his
enemies (virtually every other country in
the world) don't want to bolster his
election chances by rallying Americans to
his side because of an attack.









There have been recent excursions from UK based B-52s (currently at
Fairford in Gloucestershire) out along the borders of Russia. All with
their transponders on so they show up on ADS-B tracking sites. The
supporting KC135s also show up.
