The drones are probably not the same ones in the picture. There are 4 wrecks on the island, but those I believe are still there, and will be left for a while. There was talk of recovering them but this came at about the time that the USNAM ran into its C-130 debacle. There are probably many, many unaccounted wrecks around China Lake. The Pt Mugu Hellcats mostly fell into the ocean. The drones were shot down in great numbers over China Lake and probaly still lie around. These are probably where they are from, and I doubt the USNAM can say that a drone wreck has archaeological or war grave significance....
