Flew over the top of my house yesterday just a few hundred feet yesterday afternoon. Then pulled up to hop over Rich Mountain and banked to the east. Rove77

Looks like maybe T-6 out of Ellington

Of the ROVE call sign series, this is the only one that appears to have a nap-of-the-earth flight profile. Most ROVE flights appear to be involved in some sort of southern border nexus. Too fast for a heli, way too fast for a piston, too slow for a VF airframe, in the sweet spot for a turboprop. Hope that narrows it a bit.

Edit
Just found the hexcode: AE11CE

ROVE is not the only call sign being used. VIRAL77 also showing, and that plane is now in LIT. However, no arrival/departure record is showing.

I had just stepped into the house. The incoming sound came upon so fast, and by the time I ran outside it was going over the mountain. Tina said it looked like a Bonanza, but that’s not possible.
My ears told me it sounded like a piston, but it had a turbine whine.

That fits the sound signature I heard, and would make sense that my wife would mistake the general shape for something she’s familiar with.

Flightradar24 was painting it, and that mode S hex code is also showing as an “unknown” active military aircraft on a couple civilian websites.

T6 training flights from Vance AFB are in and out of Pueblo all the time. They are often parked on our ramp with the cowlings open to cool the engine. Evidently they are hart to start when hot.

Hopefully easier than a hot Turbo Lance II. I’d rather heard cats on a tuna boat.

I have been wanting to ask a "what is this" question but didn't want to crowd BT with another thread to do so.

On several occasions over the last few years, I have seen a single engine, high wing airplane loitering over large gatherings: football and baseball games. The last time was at the Alabama/Ole Miss game in Tuscaloosa. It flies a square pattern maybe a mile on each side around the field just high enough that identification is difficult.

Like I said, it is high wing with fairly narrow chords to both the wing and horizontal stabilizer and a pod under the left wing. Definitely a piston and of moderate power, 200-250 HP, I'm guessing. Speed is minimal, perhaps 100-120.

What is it?

The Civil Air Patrol operates a few GippsAero GA8 Airvans . Could this be what you’re seeing?

There are a couple three-letter agencies that operate high bird platforms during these types of events. More that likely one of them.

Tecnam? The two-place versions can be configured for aeriel surveillance.

Likely DHS. Possibly FBI. Both operate a significant fleet of C182, C206 and C210’s equipped with various multi-spectral sensors. With the power back to ~45-50% they can loiter for quite a long while.
