Field notes

The site's source references are structured as Vault part, PDF page, and Bates number, giving readers a way to trace claims back into the records. Its timeline is organized around Flight 305's route from Portland to Reno, while the separate file section links OCR text to scans. The homepage does not establish the OCR's accuracy or independently verify the stated page count.
