Terry,

WOW !!! So that what I was hearing--- cool. Can it be decoded?

Ron

Not sure if you heard Satcom traffic or not - could have been but unless it is clear voice - doubt there is much we could understand or decode.

Thanks Jared. I didn't know that. I'm glad I had it in. It is a Euro Coronet freq as well. Logged three flights in 2020 using it. Last was November 2020. Appreciate your info on this. I'll keep it in for sure.

BTW, they took off again and are currently heading SE from Halifax Nova Scotia area. Looks like a heading for Lajes.

They were spotted a year or so ago flying out of Tonapah or Area 51 by some Mil spotters.
Just test aircraft now assume playing around with Stealth detection tech stuff.

B-1's in Norway.. Will look good working that area with Norwegian F-35's along for the ride.

“Retired” - I think this is one of several recent spottings, some of which were at bases out west in broad daylight.
