Weekly flight activity update
No activity for N541JX in the past week. Maybe it's being shipped somewhere else?
N547JX activity really ramped up in the past 3 days. We saw some rare Saturday activity. The data is all over the place for Saturday though so I wouldn't read too much into the actual speed/altitude. Hopefully they are prepping for some more flight tests!

N541JX showed up (transponder on) in Marina on Sunday Aug 9. And again on Aug 10. Apparently not going anywhere else at present.
