A Sentry's reported positions put it near Addison, Michigan, on August 11, 2026. The aircraft database identifies it as Boeing E-3 Sentry 75-0556. Those positions came from MLAT, which estimates position from signal timing; the archive also recorded an altitude of about 32,000 feet.
The E-3's conspicuous rotating radar dome sits above a fuselage based on a commercial airframe. That design makes the type distinctive among airborne early warning aircraft. Plane Alert DB lists 75-0556 in its "Specialized military aircraft" category, but that entry does not establish who operated this flight or who was aboard.
