Went to my favorite Edwards view spot today both f-5 modified for sonic boom testing and f-22 were out and about.
China Lake was hot today radio chatter indicated 2 f-16 agressor birds call sign vampire. Further radio chatter indicated f-18 in the mix.
Somewhere near california city some sort of force exercises underway radar service center asked for one participant to contact 2 army helo's in some sort of exercise? I suspect fort irwin and bicycle lake army aviation base may have been involved in some sort of excerises.

I believe I heard a Janet airliner call in to nellis approach not sure it was one though, it was too clear of a signal think it may have been one visiting antelope valley area. Call sign unknown.

End of EBW report
Happy sky watching too all
