Eileen Murphy wonders:
Anyone know who has been doing sky donuts over Southie, Dot, South End for hours at a time past 5 days?

Likely some friends from Washington doing some sightseeing? You the kind of friends, big fans of alphabet soup.

It's a single engine Cessna 206, registered for Freelance Air. Probably doing aerial surveying or some government activity.

Most likely the FBI
It's most likely the FBI. See links below:

It's THEM.
You know. THEM.
Uhm!
There’s an airport across the Main Channel in East Boston.
Hmm!
Pilots of tiny little planes don't tend to land there because the fees are too high. They also don't tend to fly in circles over South Boston while waiting to land.
Magoo sez.
Magoo is sorry. That was Magoo. Magoo just likes to go flying and waiving to everybody. Magoo realizes now that may have been annoying. Magoo won’t do it again. Magoo.
as a frequent complainer....
I would like to thank you for taking the time to increase the quality of your shtick to at least be mildly relevant to the story in question and make some kind of actual joke about it.
Definitely spying
There was one of these a few years ago over Quincy & Milton.
Registered to a front company for the cia / fbi what have you.
What are they doing up there?
This is what drones should be used for
If we're already ok with aerial surveillance and presumably there's a warrant or other formal justification for this, then a drone will waste so much less gas, make so much less noise, etc...
Law enforcement, FBI, etc.
Plane probably has cell site simulator like stingray, dirtbox, etc. They're searching for a particular phone(s), sucking up data, or even jamming.
I've noticed my phone mobile data gets very, very slow at a certain public location in Boston even though I get 4 bars. I go a few blocks it's fine again. I suspect it involves a law enforcement cell site simulator.
That's a lot of effort/resources
And one would think that the target of this effort might notice the school figures practice going on?
Noticed this plane many times
Noticed this plane many times since the lockdown began. Weirdly my once straight frog now appears to have turned gay.
