  It's almost like somebody's happy to start flexing new signals equipment, perhaps some actor with lots of recent experience screwing around with commercial flight navigation.

  Hmm I hope they drove their car around the perimeter and tried localizing someone with a HackRF.

  Another explanation is that they added the black hawk as a static signal to avoid future crashes.
