How did you find that? I put in the registration and I get TVPX Aircraft Solutions

Search for the N number on the internet

find this reference https://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N62912.html

note company name listed further down the page.....

look up company to see what they do - matches what aircraft was doing.

Go to FlightAware (in this example) and look at flight history History ✈ N62912 - FlightAware

note the aircraft flew across the USA from Rapid City to the more local area for positioning for presumed track work.

Hey guys, a friend of mine noticed on adsbexchange that there is an AR-277 within the AR-777 refueling area. Is this a real track or an error? I can find no reference to it anywhere.
It is a real "Track"... The FAA has it as a box area for the track, but on ADSB it shows the track, which will be removed, leaving only the box. Just havn't got around to removing the line. You also will not find it in the AP1B, but FAA still assigns it as a AR track. I believe it just follows the R56 airway

777 has been an unpublished track for many years, I just don't understand why 277 is within the same area. Thanks for your input.

Early doors today HF became quite messy but I had a receiver on 4724 anyway. Primary NCS today is FASTBOAT and many messages repeated by BAITSHOP which was airborne. Often times the two were transmitting same time same frequency but different messages. Combined with some multipath it was like listening to four messages at once on 4724. This steadily became worse until around 08:00 when BAITSHOP was transmitting a repeat of a long message and at around 08:14 FASTBOAT came up with a 'standard' 30 character FDM over the top of it.
ADFEB5 and AE0414 weere the most likely candidates for the mission callword BAITSHOP. UHF comms would probably have allowed positive identification but ever so slightly out of range of the battle bus!

Are the stated times in your message UTC or local time ?
