Just to confirm Israeli Gulfstream V 'Nachshon Shavit' 676 completed return flight to Israel from St. Louis a few hours ago. Looks like moast of the side windows are covered over by SIGINT equipment installation.
The Gulfstream V 'Nachshon Shavit' is used as an airborne Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) platform and was officially ordered in November 2001. Three 'green' modified airframes were delivered by Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. to Israel in June 2005, February 2006 and August 2006 for fit-out by Israel Aerospace industries (IAI) with an Airborne Integrated SIGINT System. Active with the Israeli Air Force during the July/August 2006 Lebanon War, the first delivered aircraft went into action only a very short time after reaching its initial operational capability. When on a mission the Nachshon Shavit searches, intercepts, locates, analyses, classifies and monitors transmissions that originate from air-, land- and sea-based transmitters. The aircraft are based at Nevatim as part of the 122 'The Nachshon' Squadron.
676, Gulfstream V SIGINT 'Nachshon Shavit
Gulfstream V c/n 676 was registered by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation as N676GA in August 2002. In August 2005 it was noted outside the Savannah (GA) GAC facilities. After the structural modifications by GAC, N676GA was ferried from Savannah (GA) to Tel Aviv-Ben Gurion airport in Israel during August 30 and 31, 2006. On the same day the N676GA registration was cancelled and the aircraft was re-registered 676.

Call sign RICO26 watching the water from 54,000 feet off the coast of North Carolina. Unidentified on ADS-B but given it departed Grans Forks AFB, and the lofty altitude, it's pretty obvios that this is an RQ-4 type drone. Let's decode the hex AE541F.

Yep, looks like an RQ-4A. Unknown serial number though.
Should I just stop by Tractor Supply? Will they sell it to me with no special license or anything?

For twitter, at least, some might say that Musk is how you get government regulation without any actual regulations being passed into law.
