Posted this on the other thread as well: Using EST, If the helicopters arrived at 4pm and the firefight lasted 40 minutes, its safe to say the body was probably not photographed, bagged, and in the air until 5pm at the earliest. 8 hours later its on a ship in the North Arabian Sea getting prepped to be dumped overboard? During those 8 hours, according to the media, the body is flown by helicopter Northwest into Afghanistan some 200+ miles, it lands, they take out the body. They do DNA testing and facial recognition. They rebag the body, load it back into another helicopter, and fly 1000 miles to a US ship in the North Arabian Sea. All in 8 hours? Not saying he is alive or anything like that. Just questioning the timeline. Why the rush?
Umm... which US Chopper has a range of 1000 miles? At 120 mph?

You can get 1300 miles out of a Blackhawk fitted with external tanks.

Out of Pakistan airspace to Jalalabad ASAP. Switch to waiting carrier capable fixed wing and off again pronto.
