FORT CARSON, CO – Soldiers from Fort Carson are helping recover a Arizona-based Army drone found west of Denver.
The aircraft disappeared on a training flight in southern Arizona, and the military is trying to figure out how it got there.
Officials at Fort Huachuca (wah-chu’-kuh), Arizona, say a hiker found the $1.5 million shadow drone stuck in a tree Thursday. It was missing a wing.
Soldiers lost contact with the drone nine days earlier. A search failed to find it. The 450-pound drone has a 20-foot wingspan and can fly for eight or nine hours.
