Why no photo of it, even though it's available? edit
RQ-180 photo from CIA ops in the Philippines has long been on the net. CIA being a US federal gov't branch and taxpayer funded, the photo is fair game:
https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2F62vtuajlzkzb1.jpg%3Fwidth%3D960%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D2689958399231ea10ff5a1c417295079398c0d60 188.143.7.107 (talk) 12:35, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
- The photo itself has to be public domain, which doesn't appear to be the case here. It is irrelevant that the plane was government funded. There is potentially a case for fair use. Schierbecker (talk) 15:23, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
