This rare Orion is fitted with a billboard phased array antenna system used for over-the-horizon telemetry. Landing in a strong crosswind could be interesting. The aircraft is from VX-30 Sqn "Bloodhounds" based at NAS Point Mubo, California. It made several circuits over the city and then was gone.
