  11. This would not be the first CBP tower placed along the coastline in California.

    EFF identified one in Del Mar, about 30 miles from the border,

    and another in San Diego County where the border fence meets the Pacific Ocean.

    CBP has also applied to place towers
    –although not necessarily the Anduril model
    –in or near several other coastal locations:

    #Gaviota State Park,
    #Refugio State Park,
    #Vandenberg Air Force Base,
    #PiedrasBlancas and
    #PointVicente.

    The California coastline isn’t the only coastline dotted with surveillance towers.

    The Migrant Rights Network has also documented numerous Anduril towers along the southeast coast of England.

    Where the San Clemente tower would differ is that there is a substantial population between the tower and the beach,

    and because it's a 360-degree system, it can watch neighborhoods even further from the coast.

    However, this won't be the first time an Anduril tower has been placed next to a community.

    EFF has documented numerous Anduril towers in public parks along the Rio Grande in
    #Laredo and #Roma, Texas.

    In Mission, Texas, an Anduril tower was placed outside an RV park:
    the tower could not even see the border without capturing data from the community.

    Because AI can swivel the cameras 360 degrees, two churches were within the "viewshed" of that tower.

  13. Vandenberg Space Force Base KVBG → Monterey Regional KMRY

    Once again with an aircraft I haven’t flown before. With its 1,200 HP, the Pilatus PC-12NGX is definitively a class of its own. An exciting aircraft.

  14. Santa Barbara Municipal KSBA → Vandenberg Space Force Base KVBG

    Once again, a short trip hopping from VOR to VOR and practicing navigation by intersecting VOR radials. And all this in the Cessna 152 with analog instruments.
