Where was the Blue Devil I government-owned sensor package in January–March 2014?
Aircraft gone; sensors remaining as government property, being assessed for reassignment. Destination on 8 March is open — including Orion, MQ-9, MC-12, or another host. Not shown, and not ruled out.
Priority records: USAF/AFRL property-transfer, shipping, DD-1149, contract modifications identifying destination/custodian. Distinguish the Block 1 sensor package from Blue Devil II Greenville storage, which is a separate GFE path in the same BIG SAFARI family. Absence of a published destination is a gap, not a finding that the sensors sat idle.
