These L-3 Learjets usually carry EW training pods and have the capability to tow gunnery targets. They fly out of KPHF on a pretty regular basis along with Phoenix Air and ATAC. Note the blue AN/ALQ-167 variant and the white/grey pod on the underside.Notice over past week or so N51FN an old 1976 LJ-35 belonging to L-3 working offshore Virginia.
Judging by photo location this plane gets around.
N51FN | Gates Learjet 35A | L-3 Communications | Sean Asay | JetPhotos
Arriving after working off the coast, Note the Southwest 737 in the background entering a right downwind for San Diego International. N51FN. Gates Learjet 35A. JetPhotos.com is the biggest database of aviation photographs with over 6 million screened photos online!www.jetphotos.com
Almost acts like a target aircraft dropping down near 500 feet at 300 knots etc.
History shows been based at Newport News for a long time since maybe 2006..funny never noticed it before.

Interesting tac, exercise type chatter on 276.875, possibly
HSC-9 (AJ-61#) TRIDENT
Base: 289.475 ('18)
Tac: 275.400 ('12), 276.875? ('19), per jsoergel in the previous post...
Any Milair Listeners Near Norfolk
Has gone silent for now but might be interesting for anyone in the Hampton Roads area to monitor, Navy helicopters. Possibly this and associated craft TRDNT11 ADS-B Exchange - track aircraft live which has flown out of my range to the west.

Anyone know where the VT F-35s were going?
Nice.. Also see this ALQ-167 pod is called the Angry Kitten pod
Used also by the aggressor squadrons.May work on the MQ-9 Reaper drone.. Neat pic of Real devilish looking kitten decal with Red Star showing on an ALQ-167 pod here.
The things you learn here on this group..
U.S. Air Force Tests ALQ-167 Angry Kitten ECM Pod On MQ-9 Reaper
Callsigns were MAPLE 11 (x4) and MAPLE 21 (x4) clearance was to Tyndall AFB/KPAM, and then followed by SCX 8900.

It's great we can replicate the way the bad guys work.... I just think it's funny how we end up being better at it than they are.... Same goes for opposing forces during ground exercises... WE have the best Russian tank battalion around.
To add to that, remember the old "Top Gun" movie.... One of the first questions that came to mind for some were how exactly A-4s making the F-14's work so hard to try and kill them (I know, limited employment options etc... but it mimics the real world)
Maybe it's more than the hardware.
Thanks
