I'm thinking LA. He's still kinda high for Vegas. Usually they're dropping by now if they're heading in.

Way high too. He's up at 43,000.

Im sticking with transporting UK Brass. A Nightwatch and TACAMO are up too

UK cant afford that, we dont do luxury for our public servants of that level.

Could it be an Arab country flying under military protection looking at potential aircraft purchases?

a reply to: Forensick

Yeah, it could be. Possibly Qatar, using a charter flight to keep from having to go 1,000 miles out of the way to get in and out of their airspace. They might have come to sign something with the F-15 deal.

That interior, totally awesome display of modern horsepower....

Dreamliner

Meanwhile in SoCal and Osprey and 3 Compass Calls are up.

Edit: The USMC has 2 KC-130J's up as well in SoCal.

There's all kinds of fun over the West today. A pair of KC-130Js, with an Osprey nearby in the San Diego area, three Compass Call, and a little while ago a C-2 near where the Hercs are flying.

Two KC-130s right in front of the Osprey.

look down by El paso right on the border

Over Biggs Field 5200 feet moving between 94-109 knots

Yeah, I caught him. Out of Holloman.

I like the test that just popped up on the ground doing 2.5 kts.

Third KC-130 joining Raider 02 and 03 near San Diego.

After 4 1/2 hours, the 787 dropped off my map, while still at 43,000 feet.

Aaaaand he's back.

a reply to: FredT

He's scheduled to land at LAX at 2011.

Holy crap. We have Raider 02, Raider 03, Raider 30, all KC-130Js, and Batt 02, and EC-130 all flying around the LA area.

Now we have 3 KC-130J's up

a reply to: FredT

I think there's a carrier out there. I caught a C-2 earlier in the same area.

Pity we don't have anybody out there spotting it would be interesting to see if it taxis to the new VIP terminal

a reply to: FredT

There's all kinds of interesting stuff out there. Combat Talon, and Spooky over Alabama and Florida. Bunches of tankers. Guardrail. Mercury was over Austin, and NAOC is back up on the list.

Well crap! The Netherlands KDC-10 was at Davis Monthan. They just landed in Washington.
