Since a double return is established in Exhibit 13A, there needs to be an elevation view of the same data someplace. The fact that the B747, the P3 towed sled, and the 30-knot target are all proximate at the time of the crash, I can't understand why you don't see the P3 or the sled. Go into graph I-5 of 13E and you will see the different altitudes of the P3 and sled i.e. 20,400 and 17,600 feet as examples. That is at least a half mile in differential. Pretending to not see something that you do see is not being fair in a forum unless you have an agenda to dispute the truth.

"Since a double return is established in Exhibit 13A, there needs to be an elevation view of the same data someplace."

Agreed. But since each radar return includes coordinates on the X, Y, and Z axis, it is possible to present altitude data from just one target. In other words, the NTSB (or in this case the Air Force) took the altitude cuts from the returns that matched the 747 and only plotted those on I-9. I'm sure they could do the same thing for the returns that matched the P-3. But they didn't.

You are showing me a picture of the Mona Lisa and telling me its the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Here's what I am going to do. E13 gives a table of Lat/longs and altitudes for every return. I will plot each one of them out and see what results.

I plotted and correlated the primary and secondary radar returns shown in 13E. I can't find any correlation between the P-3 data and charts I-9/10. Furthermore, I can't find any indication that the P-3 deployed anything around the 200-300 second time period. The P-3 shows up very regularly at 12 second intervals, and nothing appears to accompany it. The point you identify on I-8 (labelled 287.6) actually corresponds exactly to where the P-3 should be at that point (24 seconds from its last plotted hit at 264 seconds). I can't find anything that plots out trailing the P-3.
