Drone Drop Off Slide 10: Tent and Water
What This Image Shows
One cut of a thirteen-slide deck built on a single annotated aerial photograph of the Utah Valley University campus.
The red banner across the bottom reads: "Plane designed for Drone drop-off (US Army's Bombardier Global 6500). 3 hours before @ 203 feet altitude, over water, 116 knot stall speed. Returned 23 minutes after Assassination, dropped to 203' altititude @ 116 knots (pick up?). Flight N1098L. Data from Gov flight public website (AXLE10). Take-off: Biggs Army Airfield. Spy Program: HADES (High, Accuracy, Detection & Exploitation, System)." The misspelling of "altititude" and the question mark after "pick up?" are in the original.
This version includes the white rooftop edge in the lower frame, showing the photograph was taken from an elevated position. The banner's phrase "over water" is doing quiet work: a low pass over open water is exactly where an aircraft would be sent for a retrieval exercise, which is the innocent reading of the same manoeuvre.
Go up to Drop Off for the clean unannotated aerial, then weigh the claim against N1098L Spy Plane and Sept 10 Flight Timeline.
