The chopper is supposed to be outside? It's supposed to be outside. I'm trying to figure out. Hold on. Yeah, there's hardly anybody outside here. Maybe three people. They don't seem to be involved in anything. They're saying maybe in the rear of the property where the buses load up?

Alright, wagon, when you come around that building, he'll be right to your right at the basketball courts. He is, uh, he's now just kind of wandering around on the basketball court. He's pointing to whatever it was he was carrying. It's laying in the grass off the 50 in front of him. We copy. Chopka radio, he seems to be complying right now. Copy. 98, this is a tripod, not a 33. I copy.
