Agreed. Bix has done an incredible amount of research into the Grand Canyon gold. Also agree with you about LTC.
Cannon AFB is home to an Air Force Special Operations Wing that flies that aircraftโฆ.among others at that location.
This is normal. Seen many times. They are flying a test pattern of some kind. Either to test navigation system or something else.
Remember anons, the MSM believes it is their job to tell us what to think.
Sometimes it does only occur on one wing tip but those conditions have to be just right. In this case, it appears that aircraft is dumping fuel. Most likely because of an emergency right after take off. But without further context, this picture proves nothing.
