“mountainous terrain, cloudy weather, and low visibility,” complicated the search”
I’m suspecting those conditions were more than likely the cause of the crash to begin with. 😔
Probably never knew what hit them...............

I’m wondering that, too. But the Growler is one of our most advanced eyes in the sky. The ISR capabilities of the Growler are incredible.
My son and I got to sit in one about 15 years ago at the Mojave Space Port. It was an awesome treat for us and to be talking to the two aviators. They were getting in training hours by flying to Denver to have lunch with one of their fathers!
The day the Growler went down, the weather was good. Not sunny great. But not foggy, rainy.
The Growlers often fly low and fast through the mountain area. It was not negligent flying. Locals who live there have their windows rattled often.
