Our govt wouldn't need The Pilatus, no?
No, they wouldn’t. I’m intimately familiar with aerial surveillance of the type conducted by the pilatus and I can think of no useful function it could have in spying on an audit.

In what way does posting this news report “hurt” you or anyone else on this board?

Laugh all you want, he's correct. It's a standard ISR platform for the US.

Aerial topography mapping also doesn't seem likely. They're going to shoot mapping or really any other routine data acquisition in the middle of an audit going on? And the air traffic controller or any other power over air traffic would allow that? Seems bizarre. Not impossible, but not logical at all.

Yes, I understand perfectly what ca is saying. And I fail to see how simply linking to this news report “lowers” the IQ of the board.
As I Indicated above, the story certainly is weird and I agree that it seems far-fetched. That is why I included a question mark in my topic heading.
If some poster here believes that something I posted is ludicrous, well and fine. Yet to suggest that a post of mine lowers the collective intelligence of the board is gratuitous ad hominem attack as far as I am concerned.
Indeed, I believe it is an insult to the board to suggest that posting such a story lowers the board’s collective IQ. Your mileage may differ, but it is my experience that the majority of regulars here are smart, rational people who are able to formulate their own opinions about the matters we discuss here daily — I certainly include both you and ca among that class of posters.
Look, I’m here to make friends, not enemies — and failing that — at least make “frenemies.” My point here is that we can agree to disagree without being disagreeable.

The logical side of me says that if it's a "routine patrol", then there would be logs of this sort of patrol in other times of the year. And over various parts of other high traffic areas. The article is admittedly written with bias, so that kind of information may have been intentionally or inadvertently omitted.

FWIW, it appears the Phoenix Police Department has a registered plane that matches the description of the plane in the linked report. Again, in and of itself this bit of information proves nothing. Yet this would seem to corroborate at least one aspect of the linked news report.
