This caught my eye a couple of days ago & Iโ€™ve been trying to ask for a dig on this airport HQZ Mesquite Metro Airport (bread 12630#9869074). One anon surmised this flight (SAM976) might be a transport for GWB โ€“ but this is miles away with at least four closer airports to his home.

 

There seems to be NO military facilities in close proximity, although Raytheon has a plant 10 miles away (with a closer airport in Rockwall TX). Whatโ€™s odd is that this isnโ€™t an isolated incident (see below) and nothing remarkable about the airport. Thereโ€™s a aerial photographer & a Civil Air Patrol office, furniture warehouseโ€ฆ

 

HOWEVER, adjacent to the airport is a large firearms facility โ€“ training, gun range, Custom Manufacturing shop! My suspicion is this may have something to do with those 10,800 AR-15 full-auto conversion kits bound for Melbourne, FL being intercepted by CBP in Louisville, KY.

 

Hereโ€™s a recap of recent MIL flights by call sign โ€“ all go to/ from Joint Base Andrews (JBA) from this tiny airport location. Gulfstream V.
