When TrumpForce-1 is in the air it seems like there is always an escort of some sort nearby. Maybe the various Air Guards get a lot of flying time when the Trumpster travels?

It could be considered a given that MIL aviators love their flight time and Training is their most commonly used excuse.

When I track TF1, I don’t see any MIL escorts because their transponders are “cloaked” (actually, they are on the MIL radar ‘channel’).
Once, I did see a K35 refueler flying parallel to the TF1 flightpath only it was about 100 Nmi east indicating that escort jets MIGHT be present.
There is currently a doctored video of TF1 being escorted by fighters, but that is fake.

The ADS-B application has a unique capability to isolate a civilian plane and then overlay the military flights.
Again, we only see what MILINT wants us to see on ADS-B.
