BLKCAT5 MQ-4C appears to be on the way home. Its flight path is a bit erratic, but they did go 'off camera' for a while so we don't know their actual flight path.

BLKCAT5 MQ-4C, 169804 is passing just north of Cuba in the Gulf of Mexico. A bit different path from 3 days ago when it flew west across the Florida peninsula. That mission spent most of its time surveiling the waters off Veracruz, Mexico.

OVRLD01 MQ-4C 169804 is operating in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. But, wait - wasn't 169804 in the Gulf of Mexico just yesterday? Thinking that the MQ-4C in the Gulf of Mexico yesterday might have been a case of mistaken identity.
