So, we've talked about the attached image before, but having just finished Peter's book, I want to raise the question again, that these are in-fact either additional P-175 airframes or P-ISR airframes in storage. Since the supposed only P-175 airframe crashed in 2006, why have additional airframes in storage 10 years later, especially if the program was a success and they didn't need to make another one, as indicated in the book. The lower one clearly has inlets, so I don't think it's a tooling jig. I do believe that the outer wing panels are missing. They don't appear together in any images after this one. 34°37'07.05" N 118°06'37.05" W
