Most US jets don't show on radar obviously, but trainers and these two did. Anyone know what they are used for or why they are flying around?
Red Air contractors.
The River Rattlers out of NAS NO are one of two remaining navy squadrons trained on red air tactics. Basically the stuff Viper and Jester did in Top Gun. They cross train with contract companies that fly Kfir, A-4s, etc and fight Navy and Air Force pilots.

VCF-204, formerly VFA-204. I thought they flew the F-5N/F. Wasn't aware the USAF flew in Top Gun..unless 204 goes to Red Flag
