The Whales at Van Nuys are operated by Raytheon (my employer) on DoD electronics flight test contracts. Anyone have any recent photos, or perhaps videos of them in action?

Cheers!

Woohoo, my father used to be flight engineer on EA-3's with VQ-2 in the 60s before transitioning to EP-3 Orions with VQ-1 in the 70s
