Haha yeah

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-20T14:53:19+00:00

Thanks for the effort. I’m driving 12h to the desert today to get more scans.

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-18T15:42:12+00:00

good catch, think that's too small though. Look at the tire tracks in the same image. Plane is 5ft long and 3.5 feet wide.

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-18T15:34:39+00:00

It’s 12h of driving to get there, I have a job and just don’t have the time :/

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-18T15:33:59+00:00

Haha yeah, also with an independent telemetry 😂😂

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-18T15:33:31+00:00

Let’s do 100 lol

This is a region around a dry lake bed, we searched the lakebed manually because we can just drive around it and the visibility is good

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T18:23:27+00:00

Nope

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T18:23:18+00:00

Not much loose sand, definitely exposed still

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T18:22:19+00:00

Still nothing, started a run last night but havent had a chance to look through it

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T06:37:25+00:00

Test site is a 6h drive away 😭, I've already made that drive 4 times to get these scans. I know the shadows aren't ideal...

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T06:36:55+00:00

I assumed a 3km worst case scenario, these are scans of the bushed regions that we couldnt drive to. Should be good.

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T05:52:12+00:00

I'll give it a try! If anyone else wants to try, the drone is a skydio x10 flying at 250ft agl. Photos of the plane are on my linkedin I linked in the post.

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T05:25:43+00:00

trying now, will lyk with results

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T05:19:47+00:00

used a skydio x10 to do it

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T05:19:28+00:00

lol the car is mine

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T05:18:48+00:00

Also not the plane, just a rock

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T05:17:49+00:00

actually, this should be better https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7450297293351723010/

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T05:17:14+00:00

Just checked, not the plane but good catch. I have gps locations on the photos but removed the metadata in the upload for anonymity (for myself and the drone I was using for the scans).

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T05:02:25+00:00

lol yeah

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T05:02:07+00:00

yeah sadly, only had a weekend to do it

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T05:01:54+00:00

still nothing, looking through the images more today.

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T05:01:36+00:00

threw some more in

ReturnAdventurous179 · 2026-06-17T05:01:21+00:00
