Before the SAREX, we flew some of the targets. Click on a thumbnail to see a larger picture (~500k).  

Scenario #8:  "Terrorist Training Camp" - 2 locations found.  All from 1500'-2000' AGL with 3x optical zoom on an HP 618.  Flown on Sunday Jan 12 by Peter, photos by Sue.

IM000689.JPG (571935 bytes) Looking north at the main location, which was at 40 deg 40' 51" x 104 deg 30' 51'

It is a N-S gully where the cars drive in from the north, pick a random gully (one of many) and park and shoot.

IM000691.JPG (517013 bytes) The second west location, looking east.  This is at 40 deg 40' 30" x 104 deg 31' 58" - a mile west and a little south of the main one.

Bottom-middle are 2 cars parked on a "major" dirt N/S road.  Humans are ~1/4 mile east in the gully.  In the distance is the N/S gully of the main location.

IM000690.JPG (518767 bytes) Looking south on the main location.  Notice the multiple locations of cars. IM000696.JPG (495508 bytes) Looking north and slightly east.
IM000692.JPG (521885 bytes) Tilted and badly framed (hey we hit a bump :-) looking north. IM000695.JPG (520511 bytes) From distance, looking north

 

Scenario #10:    NE of Hudson - power plant under construction.  All from 1000' AGL with 3x optical zoom on an HP 618.  Flown on Sunday Jan 12 by Peter, photos by Sue.

*** Location is within 2 miles of the 15nm ring of the Class B airspace - where the floor of the Class B is 6000'.  The actual target is in a 7000' floor area.   Scenario writing / safety / Class B incursions is an issue here.

IM000697.JPG (500627 bytes) Hasty shot looking NE IM000698.JPG (496758 bytes) Looking east.  Just visible to the north (left) of the construction site is Loyd Land's private N/S 17/35 paved runway.
