Wonder Who's Lurking In The Gulf.....
Interesting ground track of a Boeing E6, tail number 16-4404.
Hubby says some equipment can't be tested over populated areas so that might be why.
ReplyDeleteAgree with NFO, it's most likely a training flight. We used to "test" this stuff irregardless of where we were, but that was a long time ago...
DeleteYep, training flight.
ReplyDeleteI saw one last week take off from KRIV, and fly around training foe almost 10 hours. Long endurance aircraft!
DeleteI have a friend, now retired, who flew the E-6B. That is a very short fight for that particular aircraft.
ReplyDeleteYep, they have mucho endurance, even without refueling.
