Use a little logic here. What gets in the way of photography of the base? Air. Where does the atmosphere "end?" Effectively, there are about 3 miles of breathable air. Now three miles is not that high, and certainly the restricted airspace goes higher than 3 miles. Thus use a satellite.
Any schmuck with a few grand can pay to have the facility photographed via satellite.
one of many satellite companies
Now can we end these dumb arse threads about how to spy on the base? They are nearly as bad as the million man marches.

Amen, brutha... there should be a board here called "Schemes That Will Never Work" just for these threads.
On that note - I do wonder what the cammo dudes would do if I stood at the "line" i.e. on the legal side of the signs, and burned a gas powered dune buggy up and down the road on the other side? Or ripped donuts around their truck?

Hey guys,
I mentioned this in an earlier thread about sending a private balloon with a telescope into space and i got shot down so i decided i would put it here as i think it is a somewhat legit idea. I was wondering how feasible it would be to get the funds together to send a small rc helecopter into area 51 that has a wirelessly trasmitting camera mounted to it. Obviously the plane would not be retrieved but that wouldnt be necesarry to get the footage because it would be wirelessly transmitted. I think if someone drove up to area 51 really close to the border and just sort of chilled like people do all the time and then left and dropped the plane of a little ways away from the border and then someone from another secured location could man the plane. What do you guys think are the odds of pulling something like this off?

No not use a car radar detector... Use the same type of technology that it does... Engineer a device that can jam their jamming devices. Its not that outlandish, but probably a little too technologically advanced for us to just up and build in our own garage.
