I presume you mean it is painted blue and white. How many engines ? I heard Venus 01 doing touch and goes - but was busy with day job and did not bother to verify aircraft type. You have lots of fighter activity above you and they are "targeting" ships for practice.

Probably would be good if I looked at my own screen-----it is 28000 VC25

1523- Couple of DC ANG F-16s working ZDC Patuxent (281.4) then QSY to Bay Watch (305.2) requesting exclusive use of R6609.

1537- Two unid acft on 123.475 chat about using 1 camera to take a picture of the whole east side. I think that this is possibly an A-A freq for the Baltimore PD surveillance acft. Both N73266 & N808U are up over the east side of Baltimore.

1550 local- E3CF SENTRY 30 (77-0353) off the NJ coast by ACY heading NE. Also hearing some DEVILs on 261.0 heading in with write-ups.

Well that is interesting because the aircraft I was hearing on 123.475 referenced call sign Dragon as well. So are they in the test track or circling Baltimore ?? So was 375.600 Pax River using the same callsign ?
