N808LP Flight: Wichita to Hagerstown
What This Image Shows
A FlightAware mobile record for N808LP, watermarked "10/04/2025 @tjphager."
It reads: N808LP, flight identifier BBA48, "LANDED OVER 9 MONTHS AGO," "Operating as Bombardier 48," ICT WICHITA, KS to HGR HAGERSTOWN, MD, WED 04-DEC-2024 02:38PM CST to WED 04-DEC-2024 05:41PM EST, "2h 3m total travel time." A route map traces the leg across the midwest.
This documents the HADES prototype's own movements, and they look nothing like the Utah profile. A single point-to-point leg from the Bombardier Defense facility in Wichita to Hagerstown, flown under a manufacturer callsign, is a delivery or modification positioning flight.
The contrast is the argument. The genuine prototype flies factory-to-facility legs at ordinary altitudes; the aircraft over the Utah Valley on September 10 flew low, slow orbits. Whether that difference favours the spy-plane theory or undercuts it depends on which aircraft you think was configured for what -- which is precisely the unresolved question at the centre of this thread.
