Bcook47, you seem to have rubbished every bit of advice you've been given so far. Why ask at all if you're going to do that?
Just an observation.

Can't see the dust spot. How do you check for dust?

I used compressed air once and it took a tech 2 hrs to clean the film off everything.
A rocket bottle works just fine thank-you.

A brush that you're using more than once will almost certainly be putting more crap on your sensor than it's taking off!

The data error is mine, but I cannot see the dust spot that the reviewer reports is in the top left corner. Even at 200% inverted in the raw file I can't see it. Can you see it? What is the best method for detecting dust spots?

Previously I had been inverting and upping contrast to see dust. Equalization works much better. I recently uploaded about a dozen photos taken last year with my 5D2. All looked fine until I Equalized them. Now I understand a comment from another forum, "you must have the dirtiest sensor on earth". I removed about 30 very small specs from everything recently posted with the 5D2 and those were crops.
I would periodically clean dust that with in camera cleaning would not come off the 5D2 sensor with a Arctic static brush. Seeing the proliferation of very small spots on the 5D2 shots I'm now wondering if the brush migh be part of the cause.

As far as the aircraft part goes I cant help.
However the dust spot is ringed in red paint.
To check for dust spots I do it JPEG
Create a New Layer
Equalize That Layer
Select Base Layer
Use Healing Brush to remove dust
Delete Equalized Layer
Dust free image = Happy Screeners and photographers
