    Anyone have an idea what this plane or helicopter could be? It was up doing some similar maneuvers last night. The screengrab is from about 9pm est tonight.

    The database has been updated with this one and another, no updates to the database for the last 3+ months are being shown.

    It is one of two UH-1Ns of the 1st Helicopter Squadron at Joint Base Andrews that now have new transponders. The squadron callsign is Mussell.

    Great information thank you for your help! I figured it was a chopper given the altitude and speed but you never know anymore lol.

    Following the pattern of confirmed tie-ups, this is what the codes should like for the whole squadron if they ever equip them all or turn on all of them if already equipped.

    AE623B 69-6604
    AE623C 69-6618
    AE623D 69-6630
    AE6233 69-6633 this one might be mis-coded with the correct code being AE623E.
    AE623F 69-6636
    AE6240 69-6637
    AE6241 69-6638
    AE6242 69-6655
    AE6243 69-6656
    AE6244 69-6657
    AE6245 69-6658
    AE6246 69-6659
    AE6247 69-6661
    AE6248 69-6663
    AE6249 69-6667
    AE624A 69-6668
    AE624B 69-6669
    AE624C 69-7536
    AE624D 69-7537
    AE624E 69-7538
    AE624F 71-58277 Makes sense to be this reg, but not visually confirmed yet.
    AE6250 72-58562
    AE6251 74-59188
