Forgot someone.
There's an outfit out of the Norfolk area that has their fleet of "aggressor aircraft" for the USN, USAF, USMC to fly against. They all have tail numbers that end in AX. I believe this bird belongs to ATAC. ATAC has these old Hunters, Mirage F-1s, KFIR, and I think 1-2 other airframes. They stage up and down the coast as needed for the DOD. The F-1s just spent a lot of time in the last month flying out of Kinston KISO and off the coast.please note.....PRIVATE owner.

Just the US Army Special Operations… nothing to worry about?
EDIT: Maybe Robin Sage training related https://www.fayobserver.com/story/n...se-to-span-across-north-carolina/72148465007/

yep that is Draken. There were 6-8 birds on the line the last trip down. Loud and whiny compared to the SJAFB F-15s that fly over every day.There is also a company in Kinston that does the same thing with A-4s.
EPIC31 buzzes the house a one or two times a week. They went by a few minutes ago, I pulled up the flight tracker and saw them heading towards Salisbury when they just vanished from the scope. I kept watching, they never reappeared.

Someone flipped the transponder switch?
Maybe. They might have been down low. They have a few "usual" training paths. The one shown above where they leave CLT and head north is typically done at normal altitude until they get to WV. At that point they hit the deck and return south. When they pass over the house in Farmington they're so low you can see the pilots.
Watched them come over High Rock Dam yesterday, not terribly great positioning for a good Kodak moment, but it's always cool nonetheless
For those of you in the Asheboro region...the eyes of the moon are upon you! For over two hours now as well. I would guess the UPA is shucking and jiving to keep ahead of the G's .

Really? I thought that was today. Have they shifted infil back a day now or they chopping days off? I haven't been paying close attention like I used to recently.EndEx was yesterday.

Ah gotcha. I've never noted any action later than that, so that makes more sense then. I guess it's just auxiliary breakdown/packup activities I see on thurs/fridays. Thanks for the info. Pender County, so I guess you're with the Elizabethtown crowd then?Scenerio ends Wednesday, been that way as long as I've been involved.
