Slightly off topic, but this weekend was monitoring fisherman using FLTSATCOM freqs, not unusual. However, at the moment I have what sounds like a rebroadcast of a religious music and a prayer on 261.835MHz FM-N. Maybe someone else picking that up?

Yesterday I was just going over the ADSb Exchange map to see what aircraft were in flight. One of my stops is to look at Boeing Field.

It appears the first prototype of the US Air Force E-7A Wedgetail airframe was conducting it's 2nd test flight. Interesting considering the budget cuts. The following is the aircraft information that I was able to collect.

2025 Boeing 737-700, US Air Force, N471DS, A5C52D

Yeah odd situation. the Pentagon says they can do fine without them and stick with E-2D's but many Congress folks and lobbyists
say the E-7 is a must.. See who wins out in the end.. My money is on the Congress/Lobbyists
