Since we're looking at this, thought I would bring up something interesting that's been going on for the last few days.

@mil_ops did a video Thursday noting some interesting traffic in the DC area.

In short, there's been some interesting traffic moving from Italy to Europe.
Black ops seem to be grounded on Thursday with no new flights on the flight log.
And there's been a flurry of activity in the DC area. AF1 & 2 went up with a lot of protection (only AF2 squawking). Drones all over DC, and Green Jolly's all over Langley.
Interesting about the Green Jolly (search and rescue) given this tweet from November. At least I think it is.

Could this have just been an exercise? Don't know... notice the signal jam (zig zag flight path.

But here's where it gets even crazier.
Everyday this week, Tuesday - Friday, the Glare12 was circling for 3-4 hours each day. It takes off from Hagerstown, Md, takes a path from Frederick, Md down to Dale City, VA and returns along the same path... for 3 hours and 4 on Thursday.
What's the Glare12? Well, it's a hunter. Look at this baby!
Here's more about it.
Anyone familiar with the DC area would quickly notice how interesting the flight path is... From just south of Frederick over Reston & Chantilly, turning around at Dale City and repeating that path in a near perfect straight line.

That's all, thought it was interesting.
