Release The Kraken!
About
"Release the Kraken!" is a catchphrase and image macro series based on a memorable quote uttered by Zeus in the 1981 fantasy adventure film The Clash of the Titans as well as the 2010 3D remake. Despite the dramatic delivery of the line in the reboot, the quote was perceived as unintentionally funny and quickly became a target of image macro jokes on the web.

Took off from NAS Kingsville then looks to have done a touch and go at Corpus Christi International. Call sign BLZR261. No type ID. Low altitude flight profile. Hex ID AE6294 does not decode in databases. Could be anything. Even might be a newly minted F-35.
Doing some pretty impressive tight turns. Other pics from past flight history show some pretty high performance flight characteristics. Dunno, because the little side trip up to Louisiana almost looks like a V-22. Maybe a little too fast though.
Hex ID AE10B4 decodes as 01-0065. Looks like destination is Hickam AFB, Honolulu.

Yep, it left North Island NAS San Diego as SPAR65 with hex ID AE10B3. Then switched the hex ID to AE10B4 unidentifed for flight over open water. Might switch back as it approaches the Hawaiian islands.
