Flying the wrong direction to make up time based on winds. Quick SWAG, get direct clearance its ~1400 miles, winds aloft at FL 300 in nashville (mid path) , sw course gives you a ground speed ~522 so ignoring climb and decent about 2:45 would be best case.
By my E6B is slightly rusty.
So probably slightly late for their published time but likely not an hour.

Little surprised they didn't take a pass over Walker's Point at the Bush home in Maine

Could this be for a security reason?

Just passed Tupelo, sometimes they skip some of the marking points from the looks of it.

I would think so. I was a little surprised to see a link tracking it to begin with.

supposedly that website is using civilian based radar that is picking up transponder signals. could be that there is a hole there where no locals are providing radar coverage.

it vanished for about 5 mins over the Appalachian mountains earlier and then popped back up. but it's been over 40 mins now since it disappeared.

Looks like y'all crashed the server. Or the Secret Service took it down.

Any more details on the public processions viewing? There seems to be conflicting information from A&M Communications.

The release on 12/2 stated "While the burial service will be a private event, the funeral procession on Thursday afternoon, Dec. 6 will be viewable by the public.' However, the update on 12/3 states, "While the burial service will be a private Bush family event, the procession on Thursday afternoon, Dec. 6 will be viewable by the public as the train carrying President Bush enters the Texas A&M campus. To see potential viewing areas, visit the City of College Station's website at http://bit.ly/2FXMkny. The procession from the train to the Bush Library and Museum grounds will not be open to the public... The only public viewing on campus is in Lot 62. Parking accommodations for the public will be made available at https://transport.tamu.edu/bush41."

Obviously this is conflicting information especially when combined with the map that still shows 3 viewing areas including the one on the south side of George Bush Dr. Not "only Lot 62." City of College Station's site still states there are three viewing areas.

The only way the procession could be completely private is if they were to travel to the back entrance of the library down John Kimbrough. This seems unlikely. Taking Olson to George Bush Dr to the main entrance would be most logical. In which case, how would the procession NOT be viewable to the public along a portion of the south side of the road?

Not sure about fly over, but I feel President Trump now understands what is meant by the "Points Of Light."

I heard it as it turned south to the library. I thought it would come in from the north; I just caught a glimpse of it through the trees where I was.

Wasn't quite the route I expected given the path from DC. Wonder if tomorrow's flight will be the same as what the practice runs were yesterday.
