Andrews Approach
Air Traffic Control for Presidential and Military Aircraft at Joint Base AndrewsDescription
Controllers at Andrews Approach direct Air Force One's arrival, issuing hold vectors like a left turn at Valhalla Vector and Jet Route 5 maintenance due to ground problems. They later order descent abandonment and a 30-degree right turn amid wind shifts under 10,000 feet. Flight crews relay these safety mandates over PA, delaying presidential travel and heightening onboard tension.
