so is it safe to assume this is a drone of some variety? seems a bit far off to be a helo, if it was SAR incident they wouldn't be coy with ID/Reg most likely, and the only stuff i have come across with that hex says Madarin airlines, which seems unlikely. just curious guys, thanks.

Callsign VVHX comes back to HX-21 out of PAX River.. Tilt Rotor aircraft?

Ahh thank you, I figured it was Marine based on the VV but that's as far as my off the top of my head knowledge goes. Think they are doing some sort of SAR training then? cause it seems a bit far offshore for a rotorcraft, tho i guess the ospreys have more gas/combat radius than standard helos. Do they do ASW?

Re: JEDI 01. It wasn't OTT, it was somewhere towards the northwest. Sort of sounded like maybe Knox (OXI) but their track trough ZID seemed further south than that ? Heard them on LiveATC working ZID97/74 then handoff to ZID 307.225 then ZID 370.925. Controller asked them their cruising speed, reply mach 0.90, cleared them direct to destination and IDd them as 2 F-35s.
F-35s enroute from Wallops to Offutt. This morning they continued to Hill AFB.
