Early morning adventure out to Travis AFB to catch NASA 926 departing after an overnight on its way back to Texas from a mission in Hawaii. Had never seen a WB-57 flying before. Not great pics since they used the more remote runway but still fun. Also US Navy E-6B departing before it (unrelated). #planespotting@JetTip
@CWilbur It is a P-3C modified for test range work "billboard phased array telemetry antenna systems. Each of these systems can track up to five independent, geographically separated, S-Band telemetry sources, (including Harpoon, SLAM, Standard and Tomahawk missiles), provide recorded data collection in the S-band, and can retransmit six L-band frequencies to ground stations for real-time analysis. Two of these airframes have advanced capabilities of tracking five independent targets (extended S-band) with dual polarity and a gain in excess of 30 dB.
