This is weird...
A USAF jet (a big one) took off from Ramstein Air Base 2 hours ago. It's transponder is totally screwed up (intentionally?). It uses a bogus/miscoded ICAO, has two different tail numbers, Special Air Mission callsign SAM824...

The transponder identifies the jet as E6-Mercury. "E6 conveys instructions from the National Command Authority to fleet ballistic missile submarines"

If the Special Air Mission callsign SAM824 is correct, who's on board?
Because the transponder gives (intentionally?) bogus ICAO and 2 different fake tail numbers, I can't track from where it flew to Ramstein Air Base, but it seems to be heading to Middle East
