As both an ex-prez and a current candidate the USSS can certainly call up escorts and in-turn, the escorts can refuel if need be. And Trump wouldn’t have to pay for the escort related services. Trump Force One has coast-to-coast range so it wouldn’t be in the refuel loop. On a c-to-c run the air around TFO has to look like a flying beehive?
TF1 wouldn’t be refueling, the escort fighters would be.
That’s why K35R along the route could indicate a fighter escort.

Agreed.
But unseen by planefags because they don’t transpond on open channels.
