Came in this evening.
Nice shot, Mark. I flew over ADW this morning after departing DCA and it looked like there was also a 767-300 accompanying her.
Any idea what that may be above the Morrocan 747's APU exhaust??
Suresh posted some info from VC-25 on his FB page a few days ago...
From https://www.facebook.com/atapattu?fref=ts
Some interesting AF1 countermeasures that are hard to miss! (How to cover one's ass when on a 747!) [*note: this is not classified info and is available in the public domain].
Current analysis shows these 3 systems (and others) on the tail of AF1:
1. AN/ALQ-204 Matador infrared (IR) countermeasures device located above APU exhaust sends pulsed IR signals to foil attacks by heat-seeking missiles.
2.AN/AAR-54(V) missile launch warning receiver located on two sides of the APU exhaust cone is intended to report and track missile threats by zeroing in on their ultraviolet exhaust signature.
3.AN/AAQ-24 Nemesis Directional Infra-Red Counter Measures (DIRCM) system under APU exhaust, which can be directed by the AAR-54, fires pulsating flashes of IR energy that confuse a missile’s guidance system.
Great document

BRING BACK THE KJFK/KLGA OBSERVATION DECKS
Saudi BBJ on the ground this morning (any ID?); and the trackers say Mexican AF 733 TP-02 was in and out. I thought I saw an out of place tail back by the DL hangars, but couldn't confirm anything, and it departed while I was in a meeting.
Caught this guy on (Feb 7th) parked by the hangers. M-STAR
Hey Mark, I saw her too. Where's the tail numbers on this bird?
