MIT Labs Conducting Sensor Equipment Testing by Helicopter on August 3

Dear Wentworth Residents,

I have been notified that MIT Labs will conducting some testing of some new sensor equipment that will be mounted onto the bottom of a helicopter that will be flying in circular patterns around Smarts Mountain and in the Wentworth area. These test flights will take place this Wednesday, August 3rd 2022 during the course of the day. The helicopter will be Blue/Yellow with the numbers/letters on N445JB.

This is being sent out as notification to my residents and business owners because the containers on the bottom of the helicopters holding the new sensor equipment could resemble that of a “missile” to some people. They are NOT missiles, once again they are containers holding new sensor equipment that MIT Labs are testing in our area and surrounding areas as well.
