The GATORs

 

 

The program that N105TB was involved in on this occasion involved an Eglin 'ET' F-15D 84-0045 equipped with a SATIRS pod on the port weapons point and probably a F-4S and a NP-3D

 

N105TB was first noted going from (Groom Lake) to Point Mugu on   

It then returned to Groom Lake for a few days before going back to Point Mugu on

Activity involving the GATOR callsigns was noted a few days before our visit and this appeared to relate to the presence of N105TB and a F-15. 

 

On 16-April the mission was from around 1600-1645 and comprised

Bloodhound 322 the NP-3D    

Bloodhound 122 F-4S of VX-30          which departed shortly before

GATOR4 F-15D 84-0045 'ET' from Eglin AFB, FL

GATOR3 Gulfstream II N105TB of Lincoln Labs/MIT/DoD
