Nancy's plane turned off its transponder - now we wait
SPAR19, a United States Air Force Boeing C-40 Clipper aircraft thought to be carrying Nancy Pelosi, has disappeared from flight tracking service FlightRadar24 after being monitored by as many as 79,000 users at one point. Searching for the SPAR19 callsign or the aircraft’s registration number – 09-0540, brings up a “live flight not found” popup indicating that the plane is “either out of coverage or has already landed.” Users who click “show aircraft history” are met with a “Sorry, historical data for this aircraft is not available” notice. The plane was last spotted coming in for a landing at the Hickam Air Force Base outside Honolulu, after taking off from the Travis Air Force Base near Fairfield, California and making its way west across the Pacific to Hawaii. The plane arrived in California earlier in the day Saturday for a one hour stopover following a cross-continental flight from Joint Base Andrews outside Washington, DC. SPAR19 became FlightRadar24’s most tracked aircraft amid suspicions that Pelosi was onboard, with users tagging the plane with various comments, from “And so it begins” to “WW3 voyage” amid concerns over the implications of her possible trip to Taiwan amid warnings by Chinese officials to stay away. Pelosi herself has not provided any details about her travel plans. On Friday, she told reporters that she never talks about her travel itinerary, “because, as some of you know, it’s a security issue.” Related: Nancy Pelosi: 2022-07-28 Senate Passes Bill to Subsidize Microchips and Build Chip Plants Nancy Pelosi: 2022-07-27 Pelosi in peril: Pentagon plays down fears China will SHOOT DOWN Nancy's plane if she visits Taiwan after Beijing warned U.S will 'bear all consequences' Nancy Pelosi: 2022-07-27 Biden, Xi to hold talks amid new tensions over Taiwan Posted by: Slenter Panda4300 2022-07-31 |
