Passed nearly directly over my house.
Straight line path was 4mi west of me as he made
his way south from DRK to PXR VOR-TACs. They
typically follow the freeway VFR which puts
him just about 3 mi w/o me.

I'll see if I can track down the tail number.


Won't really matter. He's now 150 mi south
of me at DM. I've never been down there. But I'm
sure if I took the tour, the red/whi livery would
stand out, esp sandwiched in between the more
mil looking birds.

Might have been fun to see/hear him fly by last week.
What is their callsign when they're in a more visible
situation like this? Do they remain Janet XXX?

Oooh!http://digitalcartography.com/jazz/


The callsign is a good question. A Beech Janet almost always goes by
the N-number. Once in a while the Beech Janets get a WWW flight
number, but I don't know if that means they get a Janet callsign since
I never monitored a WWW Beech flight.  The Beech flight at the Nut
Tree used an N-number.

I think the old Janets should go on Ebay. The US could use the money.
