FYI, the POTUS will be in San Bernardino this evening around 7:40 PM, so there will be listening opportunities on VHF and UHF.
He is then scheduled to depart around San Bernardino around 9:35PM en route to Hawaii. This will give another opportunity to catch AF1 on HF checking in with SF Radio, most likely will be using 5547 or 5574.

Heard the tail end of some traffic, sounded like they were having mechanical/electronic issues with one of the jets which they seem to have sorted out. Haven't been able to listen as much during the holidays, family is visiting.
