Law enforcement has been draining the pond for several days now, and the heli has been flying for two days so far, documenting the water level and trying to identify anything of interest. Due to the wind, the water surface has been too choppy to get much visibility beyond a foot. I've been flying a grid each morning and afternoon at an altitude of 80', and then stitching the images together in Photoshop to create an ultra hi-res map of the pond that the SAR guys can study.
