Slightly disappointed the Superb Owl flyby isn't staging the B-1s out of Moffett, that would have been fun. But maybe I can watch the F-35s / F-18s landing...

OH LAWD HE COMIN'......false alarm.
Hmm, did they fly out a spare B-1? The one visible on ADS-B only circled and then left, no stadium flyby. At least I saw the 6 F-15/F-18/F-35 heading to Moffett!

*sad LockPickingLawyer lol*
(While many locks are poorly-made, that should be more on the order of 0.01mm.)
From a bit of searching, it appears to be a Metrix OX 712. (With some light editing to make the screen appear centered.) Also found an ad from 1979 with it selling for £375.
(cc @tubetime, who I think knows a French guy with a slight interest in vintage electronics, heh.)
Went looking at ADS-B after two F-35s roared overhead, and noticed a rather unique aircraft (Stratolaunch) is apparently out flying over the ocean today.
Also helpful: having everything still ready-to-go after getting the C-17s landing yesterday (which may have been carrying the helos/limos for this visit).
Heh. I read this morning that Biden was coming to town, so I did some planning to get a picture of Air Force One... But then I lost track of time until I heard it already approaching! Somehow managed to grab my gear, run outside, and not completely fumble it. 😅

(And again somehow managed to catch AF1 reflecting an image of Apple Park. 🤷)
I noticed the President was arriving in the Bay Area today, so I set up to catch Air Force One flying over on approach to Moffett Field.
