Maybe circling Lakehurst someday soon like the one above :)
They need it. Their N8200L was destroyed in an attack on the Manda Bay, Kenya airfield in January.

Also CAP Fighter callsign was Noble. Maybe a standard CAP callsign?

Yes, from Operation Noble Eagle. https://www.afhistory.af.mil/FAQs/Fact-Sheets/Article/458956/2001-operation-noble-eagle/




Operation Noble Eagle reached a milestone in late December 2009 when two Air National Guard F-15 Eagles from the 125th Fighter Wing, Detachment 1, at Homestead Air Reserve Base, Florida, intercepted a small airplane and accomplished the 55,000th consecutive accident-free CONR sortie.

I wonder if they consider this streak over after the incident with the OR ANG F-15.

Been seeing 09-0016 flying around the east Texas border the last few days. Flight tests after rehab? Maybe it's getting ready to come back into service.

I'm not sure about the Global Hawk, but you hear the MQ-9 Reapers all the time out of SYR working ATC on VHF like a normal aircraft would.

Have tried to pin down the drones for awhile now. No success yet.

Today there's only one up, Score 46 who is out in the Atlantic Test Track. I keep hearing an acft on Bay Watch (354.8) and all he says is "Score" nothing else . Could be Score 46.

Yes have seen and heard them before with SCORE callsign (even in the callsign box on the screen). They communicate with Giant Killer on VHF and UHF along with Washington Center on VHF aircraft frequencies. Just have to catch them at the right time. Once above normal cruise altitudes they do not chat much - nothing else up there to get in there way. There are also UHF pulse channels that are active when they are airborne too that I have reported previously.

I saw RCH433T earlier today leaving Wisconsin, assume picking up the pieces from yesterday.
Assuming no NJ visit next weekend as POTUS & FLOTUS have a 4th of July event at 6pm Saturday at the White House.
