As sloppy as that track is, I'm guessing it's a training flight for a new pilot.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely not the clean tracks I've seen before. Maybe they were testing a new payload and weren't too concerned about neatness.
DeleteNo, if they were payload testing, the accuracy would have been there. Just sayin...

DeleteIt's all suspicious...
ReplyDeleteAt the very least, it's "Interesting" to nerds like me....
