Good.
This Otter has been doing this for three days straight.
Theory is antennae testing:
"Airlift support for the US Air Force Academy cadet parachuting program is provided by three UV-18B aircraft which carry a pilot, copilot and up to 17 jumpers. These Twin Otters are the only three owned by the Air Force. In the MSAG Antenna Test and Evaluation conducted 25-31 August 1998 in Marina CA, the NPS/CIRPAS UV-18A Twin Otter provided the surrogate UAV function during a test and evaluation of the MSAG ITT Antenna under development by the Joint Projects Office. Imagery from the Twin Otter was received by the multi- source capable antenna based at the CIRPAS facility in Marina. In the Alaska Army National Guard the UV-18As have been replaced by the C-23B+."
Used because of maneuverability.

KEK. Take screenshots during tracking, just in case. Always wait until it actually does what you think before posting. Eyes to the Skies.
Nope. Not sure how/where to look for marine traffic. Would be interesting to know, though.
USAF reactivates 308th Fighter Squadron for F-35As at Luke AFB
The US Air Force (USAF) has revived the 308th Fighter Squadron (FS) to house the F-35A Lightning II joint strike fighter (JSF) jets of the Royal Netherlands Air Force and the Royal Danish Air Force.
The 308th FS has been placed at Luke Air Force Base (AFB) and will help train the F-35A pilots of the Dutch and the Danish airforces alongside USAF pilots.
In the next two years, the Dutch and Danish F-35As will arrive at Luke AFB and be stationed at the FS.
The 308th FS is set to commence operations this month and will be commanded by lieutenant colonel Robert Miller.
Miller said: “The 308th FS is the fourth F-35 squadron at Luke, but the most important part of this activation is that we will be with two partner nations.
