At 2200 it looks like they have found more important things to do eastside.

Immergut deposed Monica Lewinsky for Ken Starr, was a US attorney under Bush, and was appointed to the bench by Trump during his first term. This is not some left-wing judge.

I would speculate that it’s flight testing, but that is only a guess.

Apologies, it’s a 182, not a 206.

By β€œreplaced”, I don’t mean to say I have any information that the local and federal agencies are coordinating. I saw the 206 earlier, then later β€œnocallsign”. I was imprecise.

Now Portland police have been replaced by one of the "no callsign" aircraft we saw over LA that turned out to be fed spy drones.
