That makes sense- 125km controllable range. Otherwise it just keeps going straight. It can fly for 9 hours on the fuel it carries so it’s not inconceivable it made it to Colorado.

If the endurance is 8 hrs, and it can only fly 125 km, that’s only 15 km/h or about 9 mph ground speed? Even if the 125 is out and back range, that’s only 18 mph? The 125 limit has to be something to do with control range as you say.
