An interesting NOTAM was issued (and remains in place) for portions of northern #Alaska near Prudhoe Bay this morning.
Advisory states closure is due to 'national security aircraft operations'.
A USAF C-130J is on task in the area. Has been orbiting a specific area for the last 30 minutes or so.
Not worth speculating. Just an interesting find. Full advisory can be found here:

AFRQ5827 is now orbiting off the coast at just 750 feet.
AFRQ52827 remains on site. Marine recovery is unlikely due to ice and weather conditions. Far harder operation than the one we saw last week off SC.
Mission continues. C-130J has been on task for nearly two hours now.
