ProjectMustangTX.org distinguishes between actual Project Mustang evidence and representative imagery used to explain infrastructure and technical subjects.
Where a page uses a third-party photograph, the source and license are documented below. Representative photographs do not depict Project Mustang unless a caption explicitly identifies them as Project Mustang evidence.

AI-Generated Representative Imagery
The homepage data-center hero imagery, the broad “Why This Matters” background, and the Safety & Emergency Response representative image remain AI-generated in Version 4.3. They are labeled as representative imagery and are not presented as photographs, plans, renderings, or evidence of Project Mustang.
Replacement Policy
When an authentic Project Mustang photograph, site plan, government exhibit, engineering drawing, or other documented project-specific image becomes available and can be lawfully published, it should take precedence over generic representative imagery.
