Yep, callsign for the JTAC on this freq is usually BRUTAL.

Yes, he mentioned earlier he had 9 x Mark 82's on board. This last drop was a GBU-31 (JDAM).

Given today’s news - Consider who you want to feed your flight data to… a $100 billion Fortune 100 defense contractor…. Or an independent, uncensored community of like-minded ADSB enthusiasts. Maybe the answer is both, or one, but please think about where your data is going.

Where he's flying isn't too far from the US Submarine Base at Groton CT. Maybe it's got something to do with that?
