Do you agree if we launch at Glencoe here we can fly the drone south and see where it is or do you think we're too far north at that point?

2254? 26 didn't seem to come out then he didn't come this way yet.

He definitely did not come north, so that's the only area he could have slipped out, but I think I'd have five, six would have seen him.

So the only way he would have been able to slip by me is if he was darked out, made this little hill by the park, and then went south back on Alden, but I think I would have heard his engine revving.
