Friday, February 9th, we kicked off the weekend with a very successful airborne demonstration at Frasca Airfield. Thank you to everyone who helped plan and organize the event and thank you to everyone who came out to learn more about the project! After the event, the team went right into production flights, flying 222 lkm before the end of the day.

Saturday, February 10th, the team completed two production flights in the East block of the project area, flying 389 lkm.

Sunday, February 11th, the team completed two more production flights, one in the East block and one in the West block. Between both blocks, the team flew a total 391 lkm before the end of the day. As of now, the team has flown a total of 2559 lkm, representing 42% completion of the total planned flight lines. Total flight lines completed are shown in green on the image below. Total planned flight lines are shown in blue.

Quote from the field team: “We will keep working on the West block for a few more days before we move the base over to Kentland Municipal Airport, probably on Thursday if all goes well, and will work from there for the remainder of the project.”
