P-8A 169336 #AE5C62 was #AE6807 on a test flight with its new equipment, the Lockheed MUOS and the AN/APS-154 AAS. This makes two with this unique setup, and 17 total AAS equipped P-8As.

US CENTCOM tweeted ~1hr ago a video dated Feb 23 showing an airstrike from the perspective of an MQ-9A Reaper over Idlib, Syria. The lack of explosion and resulting damage would suggest that this is (to my knowledge) the first footage of an R9X Hellfire in use.

There should only be one at Sigonella, making this 571. 554 Is at RAF Mildenhall on TDY, but I guess it will come home.

NEW: I understand that at right about the time of yesterdays blow up at the White House the US ordered the withdrawal of at least one and possibly two P-8 surveillance aircraft equipped with AAS radar pods which had been operating in the airspace over and around Romania and ordered them redeployed …

I don't like what I saw today in the Oval Office.

C-146 Wolfound 11-3097 as HOUND77 lifting off from Mojave today

Northrop Grumman's ANCILLARY UAS still attached to a flatbed truck for low speed testing it seems on Mojave Air and Space Port's taxiways Hard to tell here, but the rear prop was spinning

US Air Force Special Operations Command MC-130J Commando II (22-5993?) as DAGGER67 Wasn't broadcasting anything transponder-wise and dropped off some cargo (for the C-146s?) Either way, really cool to catch it in action in whatever exercise they're participating in

A few days after posting, I get a much better chance 😅 HH-60W 21-14522 departing Mojave

Sorry I don't post here much, no algorithm so all I see is politics and I'm not interested. I have to go click on accounts to look at what I want.

On Friday, a 737-7EJ (N235JF) registered to GWP LLC was delivered, likely to Pope Army Airfield. The aircraft is registered to the same company as N972BJ aka the infamously spooky 21-0024. Intercepted ACARS messages show that it will use hex #AE108D, tail number 19-2404. 1/3
