Subject: Washington Public Records Act Request: Information about 1973 model 206B Bell Helicopter

Pursuant to the Washington Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
All records, documents, emails, and other correspondence regarding or related to the 1973 model 206B Bell Helicopter as well as any additional equipment attached to the aircraft. This aircraft has serial number 1128 and holds registration N411KS. This aircraft uses the mode-s code of 51154311 in octal or A4D8C9 in hexadecimal. I request records, documents, emails, privacy assessments, purchase orders, and other correspondence relating to the equipment on the front and rear of the aircraft.
Additionally, I would like any manuals, procedures, communications protocols, and any communications related to inter-agency coordination. This should include pilot logs, flight plans, and surveillance plans. Specifically, I am looking for any and all data relating to flights for the city of Seattle over the last week with a focus on June 2nd, and June 3rd where the aircraft was documented flying over the demonstrations with aftermarket surveillance equipment. Any imaging or other surveillance data from onboard collection is additionally requested, as well as any policies which govern the collection, processing, use, and dissemination of this data. Any communication about this data or related data should be included, especially inter-agency communications, and metadata.
This information is part of a journalistic research project involving the Seattle Privacy Coalition.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.
