What is this Aircraft doing?
I noticed this aircraft at FL120 doing large orbits of Warrnambool Wednesday morning 10am i'sh. I've counted upto 5 orbits but could have been more. It has no ADSB output. Does any body know what it is doing and what the pod is on the belly?

Survey 400 the C208 does laps of Melbourne constantly. A couple of weekends back it was airborne for at least 5 hours. Doesn’t show on FR24 so can’t see the exact grid.

Grubby Andrew's heard someone from Melb escaped his dragnet!

It’s entertaining reading the posts online from the Melbourne nutjobs now that they’ve discovered some of the flight tracking apps. Lots of furious posts of screen grabs of survey planes and Polair over Melbourne with numerous theories ranging from chemtrails to child trafficking tunnels to shipping in Chinese troops under the cover of darkness (I **** you not!). The Melbourne Traffic Managers number was also posted on one of the FB pages too, I imagine the phone calls they were getting very quickly changed from funny to annoying.

What's it doing?
About 120 knots. |

I do believe it's flying good sir. Apparently it's what those Aircraft do.

It’s Bob Hoover doing his Shrike Commander Energy Management aerobatic routine

It is disappointing when important safety issues are trivialised.
As a consequence of multiple criminal offences by the aeronautical data originator for Warrnambool, the ERSA shows the aerodrome elevation as “12,242 ft MSL” rather than “242 ft MSL”. The poor bastard’s been doing circuits and trying to land on a 12,242’ AMSL runway. This is why Part 175 is so important. |
LB wins :p
