Anyone know what this aircraft might me doing??.. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N46L/history/20080318/1612Z/KSNS/KKIC
Layin down some Chemtrails??? Lol 
I first thought this was a flight school with a student doing training, but this airplane is doing this just above my city and destination is our city airportā¦I know all the names of the 4 different flight schools we have here and also of the ones in the regionā¦But the name of this aircrafts registration is not one of themā¦ So anyone know what this aircraft is doin?..Just practicing?..Or whatā¦Cause -I- never did any patterns like that during my flight training, but who knowsā¦maybe that was just my particular schoolā¦
I doubt your flight schools used King Airs too.
Here a link to the a/c operator www.dynamicaviation.com
Iām guessing survey work of some sort.
BTW those look like turns-on-a-point. I did those in my commerical training.
Dynamic Aviation operates a flock of King Airs, civilian and ex-military; for a variety of businesses and agencies. They provide platforms for research, survey, photo as well as special mission & mission support.
Probably photographing whateverās at the center of those repeated circles. Which I could ID if there were a flight trackā¦
Looks like the summit of the mountain range southeast of Monterey. Thatās US-101 that the flight path generally follows and maks a few loose oblong passes over. Thereās not much going on up in those mountains outside of the wine business - a few homes and Jeep trails, it looks like. Basically N 3602ā, W 12107ā.
My Guess is California Condor survey/study for CA Fish and Game.
Looks like itās near KKICā¦Didnāt know they had condors that way
YOU SAID THE MAGIC WORDS! 
You know what you have to do, then. You must investigate personally, and report your findings!
Well for what itās worth, up here in Canada NavCanada uses two Challenger CL-601s and a Dash-8 to calibrate navaids and approaches. Hereās what it looks like when they calibrate VORās.

They fly as NVC1, NVC2 and NVC3.
Wow, those are some NICE DME arcs! The only way my track would look like that was if I was asleep in the back and someone else was flying the plane.
The tighter circle to the west of 101 is over Camp Robertās
which is military airspace. Basically everything from PRB north and west of 101 to the ocean is Military. It is not always hot thoughā¦ Inside the area are two lakes, Nacimiento and San Antonioā¦ Could be taking pics of anything in thereā¦
?? A few small farm towns along 101? KIC is about where the other circle isā¦
Hard to tell with no other landmarks between PRB and salinas
What are the chances they were doing some photography for the cropdusters to analyze? I know there are quite a few fields thru there, as Iāve picked up many produce loads up the 101ā¦
One one of its flights it did this:
flightaware.com/live/flight/N747 ā¦ /KBFI/KBFI
It is currently flying with a GENx engine
Wowā¦those tracks that the 747 out of Boeing Field (KBFI) made are CrAzZzYy!! 
lolā¦Also the āNavCanā one calibrating the VORs alsoā¦Keep the weird track links comin guys!! But yeahā¦the reason why the track i listed in this post interested me SOmuch is that i KNOW that area that they did those circles over like āthe back of my handā ā¦And it aint nothin but a mountainous, rural, rugged, sparse, military operating areaā¦So thats why it kind of interested me and threw a red flag up when i came upon itā¦But yea, i SUPPOSE they are doing some sort of aerial photography or surveying of the military area(s) (Fort Hunter Liggett & Camp Roberts)ā¦But you would figure that the Air Force would do it instead of paying someone else for aircraft time wouldnāt you?..But checking out the Condors is also a valid idea cause that is a known highly concentrated California Condor nesting area, it even shows it on the sectionalā¦soā¦yeaā¦who knowsā¦But thanks for all your answers and the cool flight track linksā¦if you got anymore interesting tracks youāve found on here, please slap the link downā¦Welp, Have a good Easter everyone!..Peace outā¦
Though not too crazy, a good one to follow.

Pratt & Whitney Canada 707-200 engine test bed.
No vanity tracks, like Cessna or Gulfstream, but weāre pretty good with the Etch-A-Sketch thing also.
Picasso?
LOL 
Lolā¦Almost looks like it huh?!..
