NT-43 at the Tonopah Test Range on Bing

NT-43 at the TTR

I'm about 80% sure on this one. The resolution isn't so great.

Probably some of the best shots of the NT-43 are on this page:

I was give a few shots of the NT-43 over the TTR:

I'm 20% more sure you are right.
Still searching the web for more info.
I see that it was mentioned here on ATS back in 2009.
Known as "Clinton's plane"

It's an odd looking bird.
:-)

They must be testing some kind of stealth aircraft.

Ya know..
With strange aircraft sightings on the west coast of sort lately.....

Even a certain mod ask a question just a bit back asking for help trying to see if anyone saw something.
But I believe he noted a transport by truck leaving SoCal.. headed to NV.. a stealth drone.

Perhaps?
Ohh Zaphmod!

I like Google.

I popped into another forum that showed up too. Any idea how many of these planes exist? Is it usually at TTR?

I believe it spends a fair amount of time in Nevada. I can't say if only at the TTR though. You can look up "RAT 55" to see their patch. According to the wiki, only 73-1155 became a test bed. [The 55 on the patch is presumably related to the tail number.] There is a patch on ebay, though I can't say if it is a copy or not. I was given a real RAT 55 patch and the one on ebay more or less looks the same.

My weekly TTR search caught this article. Of course you read about NT-43 first on ATS. ;-)
