"Put On 'Yer Tin Foil Hats!" [View all]
The proverbial "black" helicopter overhead the lookout this morning. But it was not really black. I rendered the shot in B&W so that you cannot see the real colors, and I "starred" out the "N" number, so that you cannot look it up, like I did.
The helo flew around the Miami Fire for a while, feinted a landing at the Sawmill Run LZ, then landed in a dusty parking lot above the lookout, near the very top of Mt. Lemmon. Then it took off about 90 minutes later, and made this pass over the lookout.
I Googled the registration number. It was a Bell 407, owned by a Texas company that is putatively a front for a US Government agency (not the CIA, presumably).
I figured that it was a mission to check their antennae on Radio Ridge after the fire on Saturday (which did not get close).
But with Pinal Air Park so close by, one never knows. I asked waaay too many questions THERE in 2013!
Oops, got to go. There is a knock at the lookout door ..

Why all the "front" companies? Who owns them? Who PROFIT$?
