One of the RBAR Aircraft was detected on SBS-1e and PP on Wed and again today the 8th, do not think its been flying, as data received from it shows short time Start/End times and possibly testing its Avionics and other equipment down at Jandakot, (it is possible that it has done a short circuit or 2 ), shows a Hex Code of A6D907 and Rego of N540MH United States, a MXR Technologies Aircraft, S/n 10, c/s N540MH, maybe some more AC will show up on the Recorder ?.
