F18, No Big Deal.
Not particularly.
They do this off San Diego all the time.
Yes it's rare for fighters to show on ADSB so I'm surprised he has an ADS-B transponder active. The call sign is RAMPAGE 11 abbreviated by the look.
He's staying in US airspace. Airspeed is 450 which is low for a fighter and does not indicate a scramble or pursuit. He's at 20,000 probably for fuel efficiency and he's circling over "Forks" on US 101.
Looks a lot like a search patternโฆ.. but what the hell you can search for in an F18 in the dark escapes me. (Maybe he's hunting tic-tacs?)
Yep, F18 still circling West of Olympia NP.
Flyboy getting his nighttime hours certified I'm guessing. Speed and altitude unalarming and pretty consistent.
