Flight test from AgustaWestland facility, AGUSTA 14
Often times it happens with an international sale where the ADSB database was not updated yet. Flightaware doesn't show it and Flightradar24 doesn't list the info.
Looks like prob servicing a Panama AW139 chopper at Leonardo in Northeast Philly.
Searching news Panama has 6 of these since 2013 and just had one crash in the Mountains down there last week.
They really run up the hours on them and article of political finger pointing about how they abuse them down there.
Hopefully in future may see more of their tilt rotor models AW-609 flying around here.
Leonardo Helicopters US

They are,as I posted yesterday they all came from Travis AFB who still has them for now.
Long way to go just to top off planes over NYC. Good chance for Travis crews to get some nice photos
He came on station and started refueling the Nobles, turned his transponder off...Advice-42 stayed on station until 43 completed the refuel, 43 is now RTB to Pease.

I think the crashed F-35 was part of a SWEDE flight.
And the KCHS LiveATC audio is garbage. After the time you can hear the the controller talking to the SWEDE flight some of the commercial flights were going around due to RVR.

I'll be at McGuire tomorrow for a KC135 retirement ceremony, so I'll keep an eye out to see what I can see

is 'NE Philadelphia Airport' the former Willow Grove NAS?
No, NE Phl airport is to the SE of Willow Grove, closer to Phila.
Surprised CAP is still up this late; 228.8 a/a; some chatter on ZDC 307.275 sector 58 Coyle; RCAG Ship Bottom NJ.
Still going too, Advise 44 current tanker

Negative. The runways at Willow Grove are closed and not in use. The PA AIR Guard 111th Attack Wing is on the grounds of the old Naval Air Station plus many other units.
