@VicradioZone @flightradar24 Looks like regular maintenance, squawk 2100 is commonly used for maintenance/testing. Wish we had some more receivers around there.

@VicradioZone If 000001 on the left is the aircraft icao address it's likely transmitting the wrong address and some database has it listed as a drone

[Dominic Hubert @Dominic2364]

@VicradioZone Seems like they're from VMM-268: https://t.co/teMiR15TGp

[I Marine Expeditionary Force @1stMEF]

U.S. Marines with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 268 Reinforced, Aviation Combat Element (ACE), Marine Rotational Force-Darwin (MRF-D) 22, fly MV-22 Ospreys over downtown Darwin, NT, Australia to demonstrate their capabilities. (@USMC video by Cpl. Emeline Molla)

[Dominic Hubert @Dominic2364]

@VicradioZone Most likely hornet, not sure where the ospreys in Darwin are from

@SirListenalot B-2 LIVID21 just left YAMB at 1741, cleared to KSZL. Joined up with Pearl87 flt.

[Dominic Hubert @Dominic2364]

@Mangust013 Livid11 flt joining up with Pearl93 flt of 2x KC-135s 61-0290 and 60-0339. On HCF center right now.

@scanSydney German Air Force Global Express 14+07 as GAF679 also inbound to YSCB. Seems like these movements are related to the upcoming Air and Space Power Conference: https://t.co/7xpo3H3Dic

[Dominic Hubert @Dominic2364]

@VicradioZone @thebaldgeek F35s will be separating from the KC30s and continuing to Williamtown

[Dominic Hubert @Dominic2364]

@thebaldgeek Here's what they were up to: https://t.co/5eQuGCNnrE

@VicradioZone @ADSBexchange 7CF83B gets even more confusing, it's the hex of C130 A97-468 but was used by a hawk for a few months last year

https://t.co/R7U49uvavm

[Dominic Hubert @Dominic2364]

@VicradioZone @ADSBexchange Yep it should be A27-02, also A97-469 is not even an actual C130 rego

[Dominic Hubert @Dominic2364]

@thebaldgeek My guess is it's a photoshoot of USAF/RAAF C17s over the Philippines. RAAF C17 ASY1145 flying over Palawan Island with USAF C17 LAVA70 and RAAF C17 ASY1146 behind it, supported by KC-30 ASY602. LAVA70 continued to WBSB and the RAAF C17s returned to RAAF Scherger.

[Dominic Hubert @Dominic2364]

@VicSIGINT 00001 is a common ICAO for incorrectly configured transmitters, and one ADF heli used it recently which might explain the A49-008 (maybe a typo of A40-008). I'd guess its a random GA plane or that ADF heli.

[Dominic Hubert @Dominic2364]

@vcdgf555 RAAF THUM/THUM02 also returned back to Amberley, likely just a regular training flight

[Dominic Hubert @Dominic2364]

@VicradioZone @TheBaseLeg @VK1MIC @rojtel @scanSydney Hogan 23 is probably the third aircraft in formation with Hogan 21 which would be a USAF C130

[Dominic Hubert @Dominic2364]

@VicradioZone @scanSydney @TheBaseLeg @MelbScan @rojtel @VK1MIC Looks like its doing something at Londonderry Drop Zone which is a RAAF airdrop training area. That drop zone is directly under where it's circling south west of Richmond

[Dominic Hubert @Dominic2364]

@VicradioZone Found an article about it: https://t.co/48K1m0a5ew

[Dominic Hubert @Dominic2364]

@VicradioZone @scanSydney Same aircraft, there's only one WC-135 in service
