I saw this WB-57F land at Nellis on Wednesday afternoon. No markings, registered to NASA, registration N926NA. It is used as a high altitude research platform.

It was flying over the ranges almost daily between 8/7 and 8/28 at altitudes up to FL500. I believe I heard them on 126.150MHz (R-4808 MOA Control) on a previous day, callsign "Highland".

I am not sure if the mission is related to Red Flag. Their sortie times don't match the Flag sorties. But obviously it can't be very sensitive, since they landed right in the middle of the afternoon Red Flag recovery. Any comments?
