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.

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. |
 |
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. |
 |
Looking south on the main location. Notice the multiple locations of cars. |  |
Looking north and slightly east. |
 |
Tilted and badly framed (hey we hit a bump :-) looking north. |  |
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.

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

Looking SW into the sun |  |
One decent shot :-) looking west. |
