Interesting Military Aircraft

[viking9]

Didn't get a visual myself but it was flying around at 8,000' in the area that Marshalls use for air tests and there is a Tristar currently at Marshalls. My first thought was that the box was in it since it was a civilian, but that cannot be right as ADS-B was not around then. I assume they are either retrofitting or trialling it.

Picked these two Polish Mil up earlier today:

48D845    2010/01/26 16:01:23

Both flying between 18000 & 19000. Anyone know of any serials and types?

End Position:    N51 31.5 E000 03.1

E-6s usually transmit positional information.

With regards the Tristar, Marshalls is about 1/3 of the way through a cockpit upgrade for the RAFs fleet of 9

I think the first few were Mode-S only, it looks like the rest are getting the full ADS-B treatment. :-)

Thanks for that. I knew they were getting an upgrade but am surprised ADS-B is part of it.
