If that's absolutely an OV-10G... the two G models out there are Combat Dragon II SOCOM aircraft with USN aviators piloting. They might be testing new sensor capabilities or the like, conducting aerial surveillance and pre-strike recon testing/practice.

Guys,

Noticed in Mode S database and logs that there's been an OV-10G in our area the last couple of days. Anyone hearing him and any idea on what he's doing and who he belongs to?


I saw it too but couldn't find it on the radio. It's at Pax for testing I think.

about 1625 heard reference to 'vertical maneuvering', didn't catch the frequency. Heard sound of freedom in front yard, saw hot jock doing his thing, almost straight up. moment later heard '___402' on 270.8 presumably done.
