I catch flack from some of you "pilots". I'm good, pile on. Been tracking a plane that has been flying all night. Appears to be a pilot that is simply building hours for some sort of certification... Would you want to fly cross country with a guy who flew in circles all night ?

Looks like a typical LIDAR flight. Mapping topography for various reasons, including firefighting and mining.

Probably a developer bringing another high density housing project to Montana.

The report features five people who accused Pierce of sexually assaulting them or attempting to have sex with them while they were too inebriated to consent. The alleged offenses took place over a period of six years in Louisiana, Texas, California and the United Kingdom, and sometimes involved a second assailant, according to a Rolling Stone investigation. Three of the five accusers, who ranged in age at the time of their alleged assaults from 18 to 23, said they were aspiring drag queens at the time.

Prime area for a development. Bordering the Lolo National Forest. Maybe I should go over and buy a few acres.

ATF raids house, won't say why. Asking for a friend - is it because, 'Just because' isn't good enough for the news?? ATF wanted to get into his gun safe. Warrant probably was blank. :rolleyes:
"Neither the ATF, state police nor federal prosecutors would provide details of what agents were looking for, citing an ongoing investigation"


To the local glowies. I stand with all our Federal Agencies. I only ask these questions, because people ask me. ;)

too cold for pot season isn't it?
It's at night...so......by photo, you mean thermal or NV?
Could be.....I really have no idea. The pattern looks like LIDAR work. My dad does some maintenance work on a 182 and a 208 that fly missions like that. It is odd that it's in the dark though. Here in the communist utopia of Calistan.. . Highway Patrol flys 208's with tons of surveillance gear..... .for your motoring safety of course

That area is north of me. I happened to be going to Missoula this morning so I was paying closer attention to the area as well as remembering the "pattern" the plane was flying. The plane broke the grid pattern and made several small tight circles. I have nothing to back up my opinion... but, I would guess he was mapping places with some sort of natural water, like a natural spring. The battle here, in a drought region, is to get water for new housing tracks, schools and light industry. There are battles being waged, as we speak, about new "affordable" housing. I never watched Yellowstone but they must not have mentioned drought and water rights.
