C-130 air cover for DC

We've had one or several C-130s flying around since yesterday evening. I saw one about twenty minutes ago, and I think the same one just flew over about a minute ago.

ADSB shows one coming in from the Midwest, but that's wrong. I think he's been here for a while.

I’ve noticed other signs of tightened security. They are taking good care of Joe here in Delaware, I hope they do the same in DC
