Once-in-a-lifetime event at the Mojave Air and Space Port as the Northrop Grumman Stargazer L-1011 touched down with a Pegasus XL rocket mated underneath. This historic air-launch system is prepped for its next mission! LINK will rendezvous with NASAโ€™s Swift Observatory and raise its orbit by ~300 km to prevent reentry and extend its scientific life for more observations. โ€“ at Mojave, CA

As others have said, and Iโ€™ll continue to parrotโ€ฆ LIVE tweeting/reporting on active strike missions, especially aircraft coming from CONUS pre-oceanic, is inherently irresponsible. Using any excuse to justify this, then posting it on X or any other platform only shows you care about likes, clicks, and any other engagement. I always say, if they didnโ€™t want to be seen, they wouldnโ€™t broadcast positions. In this case, it is very clear to any experienced tracker that deception/concealing tactics are actively being used and the intent to not be found, is clearly present. So, DO BETTER. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

THINK BEFORE YOU POST. Iโ€™m certainly no expert in OSINT or aircraft tracking, but one thing this conflict in the Middle East has highlighted is that just because information is available through open-source tracking or radio monitoring doesnโ€™t mean it should be shared immediately on platforms like X. Even when something is technically public, broadcasting it in real time can have unintended consequences. In many cases, itโ€™s far more responsible to wait until the event has concludedโ€”or better yet, not share certain details at all. Right or wrong its just my two cents. โ€“ at Adelaide, South Australia

Was nice to see 60-0031 up close at March this past weekend When I asked the crew about the pylon on the right wing, they told me it was for cruise missile integration, and more specifically LRSO ๐Ÿ‘€ Guess I'll have to keep an eye out when it's out flying Got some swag too

Thing about RAIDER callsigns around here is that it could be a KC-130J, F-35C, or a B-21 (plus chase)

A closer look at Scaled Composites Model 437, which flew for the first time in 2024. Similar to other scaled aircraft, but still a unique design and swill serve a different purpose. #scaledcomposites #model437 #n437vn #vandguard
