I searched the tail number and got this--
A DC-10-10 used by Raytheon USA, N910SF (c/n 46524) has made a stop at HNL. The former American Airlines wide-body was purchased by the US Government, for the Missile Defense Agency, to use in testing missile defense systems. It's also known as the WASP - Widebody Airborne Sensor Platform.


You never what is going to fly from the base (I live there)

Saw that at LAX a couple years back next to Voodo-1.  Never knew what exactly it was.

Thanks!

Thanks for the info on her, now all I want is those Raytheon A-3s if they're still around.

BTW - the WASP was down for a while due to needing a inspection.  (Reached the certain number of flight hours)

Interestingly, a company won the contract, but failed to finish the work (or something like that).

I am glad it is back in the air.
