Seeing as there isn't a dedicated thread on the subject ((that I could find anyway)) I figured I might post this here.
A few days ago my dad showed me some pictures he took. He's an old school aviation guy, and wasn't quite sure what he'd found, but I immediately recognized as being some part of the Eagle Eye Program. We live in Northern Arkansas, and he was on his way to a bank in Batesville when he saw it. At this time, we have no idea how it ended up in the middle of almost-BFE Arkansas, or anything else. I'm guessing its either a wind-tunnel test model, or maybe a mockup used for trade shows. Though he says you can't see it from the pictures, he said the visible components were definitely not up to airworthy specs, which lead us to speculate that it must've been some sort of full size mockup. Plus, I know there were only two prototypes, one crashed and I can't imagine Bell selling the other for surplus scrap. Its a bit if an oddity, we hope to talk to the owners sometime soon. I must admit, I'd like to snag this for myself.
