Usually associated with link testing out of Lakehurst NAS. Normally RC-12's but sometimes you'll see the DH-6's.

Primary: 255.750 Secondary: 230.875
Glare08 was working with Gypsy over the weekend as well as today. Full days. They have been testing a 'pod' at various altitudes in both 'runs' and 'circles'. Glare referred to the 'customer' and today discussed saving gas, presumably to save the customer dollars. A couple/few days ago, Glare lost two of their radios and went to 'low band'. Today Glare had copy issues with Gypsy and wondered if Gypsy was on 'low power' setting. Glare has been quite interested periodically asking Gypsy how the tests were going. Haven't heard any reference to readings, data etc. that would indicate technically what may have been going on.

Heard some of that activity today as well....even heard Glare pass a phone number for contact and mentioned calling Lakehurst Ground Control to relay a message.

MD ArNG UH-72 Lakota helo # 13-72275 (from Weide AAF) spent most of the afternoon flying low over the city of Baltimore, usually at around 1,000 ft.
Wonder if he was involved in some sort of surveillance activity associated with the current MD effort to put more resources into fighting crime in Baltimore???????


1648 EST- P-8 # 169542 (???-24) working w/Giantkiller (118.125) off the DE/NJ coast in the Atlantic Test Track.

Bit off topic but Boeing may try maiden flight of their new B777X aircraft Tomorrow 1:00PM our time.
Already delayed Boeing sure could use some good news these days.
These mind boggling monster diameter twin engine jets just keep getting bigger as seen below :)
Also has folding wingtips for parking.

Boeing schedules first 777X flight for 23 January

Boeing has scheduled the 777X's maiden sortie for 23 January, an event that will finally kick off the revamped widebody's delayed flight-test programme and potentially keep the airframer on track to begin deliveries in early 2021.
