This morning I pulled up my Flight Aware and was poking around on there and saw this flight: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N560BL/history/20230512/1030Z/KFLL/MUGM
Tail number N560BL because this flight will be landing soon, but it will take off again in about an hour.
So I saw it flying into Guantanamo Bay so I was researching what it was. It is owned by KAC MD LLC which sounds like a medical doctor. So I was thinking it might be a specialty doctor for the base. I figure regular doctors for the base and prison would be military and not a private company. But I was looking at its flight history and it goes down there repeatedly, lands for only an hour, and leaves again. Hardly enough time to get on base or do some doctoring. But it is three days between flights. So is this MD staying down there for three days at a time? Sounds like a long time for a private doctor. My other thought is maybe the government is leasing it out for “under the radar” (pun intended) prisoner runs? If I had military background I could probably infer more but I don’t.

I saw those flying in very low orbit once before I knew what they were and there was just a straight snake of lights through the sky and it was the craziest thing ever. Fortunately someone that I was with new about the star link launch but when you don’t know what it is it’s wild.
