It’s usually parked at Baldonnell.
Was flying around a bit yesterday as well
They use it for high crimes and misdemeanors.

It is working as intended then.
On moblie but you would think the page talking about the plane would have a picture if said plane
Hey OP I’ve picked it up in the past, I was using JAero though on the PC with a SDR and tuned high up around the inmarsat frequencies.
I’ve also got a very small dish installed in the attic for this and it’s pointing at the inmarsat sat around 25.3 East i think, or something like that, strong enough though to work through the roofing tiles too, it’s the dish you can buy from the rtlsdr website directly.
I’ll see if I can get a link for it (I’m on mobile right now) and come back and update this post with an edit.
Edit: Here you go…

It’s brilliant, highly recommended.
I have the rtlsdr they sell there too and it’s very good but I use a Sdrplay rspdx these days mostly. Order from amazon US, it’ll take 4 days to get to you, otherwise expect a month for delivery from China.
You can search around for JAero software, updated recently enough too and free.
I also use the paid version of tekmanoid to get comms from Russian mil on Inmarsat though they’ve started using pgp a lot since last month to encrypt messages.
