AC-130J Ghostrider loitering flight Oviedo Florida 8-8-2023
This has created quite a stir locally:
Not sure why they picked this location, so near to Orlando air traffic. It was circling a home of some prominent local family who has some acreage.
However, one of the nearby neighbors "CB" works as Senior Traffic Administrator at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control.
Maybe it was a test of the 60KW laser DEW? Reportedly it departed Pensacole, did this pattern and returned to Pensacola.
Has anyone recorded air traffic from yesterday?

Flight demos will take place in summer or fall 2023, but it remains unclear whether development will turn into a bonafide program of record.
