The usual fairly slow Friday activity level. Thank goodness the Navy Test Pilot School was in session today.
Did get a visual on the Northrop-Grumman Test Facility’s BAC-1-11 and T-39 Sabreliner  as they did a wing tip to wing tip climb out of BWI Airport over my house.  Didn’t hear them on the Pax River test freqs so maybe they were headed out of town.
