N789LL is flying a pattern directly over Al Asad airfield.

Maybe it is checking navaids at the airfield or testing new equipment under contract to the military.

Plane is showing as being military although with civilian markings.

Plane is also listed as owned by L-3 Communications Advanced Aviation LLC.

The pattern over the airfield is probably directly over the radio homing beacon antenna.

By flying from three or more directions directly over the beacon they can calculate and cancel out any wind drift to determine the accuracy of the device being tested.

This is known as a 'cocked hat' navigation fix.
