The Ft. Huachuca Aerostat was removed just after Biden was sworn in. The BP refused to answer press questions at first, then later said it was for maintenance. Does anyone know if the Deming and Yuma 'stats are still operational? It's been really windy the last couple of weeks, so they are probably grounded but ours is just gone.

Seems like the program is being discontinued

I would want to corroborate the story with a source a bit more reliable.

Ours is the TARS system. It is a bit of an eyesore and visible out our front window, but it also serves an important purpose. I hope they have a replacement. The timing is interesting, though. No more wall, no more Aerostat.

BTW, SAR also uses it to give directions to lost hikers or find injured and stranded folks.

I won't be sorry to see it go like the wind turbine they removed a couple of years ago.
