Post on Blocked Tracking of a Government Jet

What This Image Shows

A screenshot of a post from an account shown as The General, handle @GeneralMCNews, posted 27 minutes before capture. The attached graphic is split between a portrait on the left and a FlightAware notice on the right.

The post reads: "BREAKING: FBI Director Kash Patel has asked to halt public tracking of government-owned jet after reportedly using it last week to fly out and watch his girlfriend perform at a wrestling event." The notice panel reads: "N708JH - UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT (WASHINGTON DC). This aircraft (N708JH) is not available for public tracking per request from the owner/operator."

The blocking notice itself is a verifiable artifact: a specific tail number withdrawn from public tracking at the operator's request. The characterization of the reason is the poster's summary of press reporting, attributed and not adopted here. Public flight tracking is the backbone of this investigation's aircraft work, so any mechanism that removes an airframe from it is directly relevant. See Planes, FBI and the Aircraft photo cluster.
