Back in the mid 80's when I still had sight. I was in NC and from the
hill I was on. I got to see a F18 flown by remote. It had a pilot,
but he was waving to me with both hands as the jet wash blew me off
that hill. So that should give you a idea of how low they where
flying threw those mountains with something that big.

Hi,
Grin. Yeah, me to. I heard the Reaper is a nasty little drone with
quite a lot of firepower for an unmanned aircraft. You can fly that
little drone to anywhere in the world and blow them to kingdom come
with a couple of well placed missiles. They saw some action in Iraq
and the enemy never knew what hit them.
I read this true story about the U.S. military had a Reaper drone
doing recon when they saw a couple of guys mining the roads. Let's
just say they probably wished they hadn't. The general ordered the
drone's operator to open fire on the guys and a single missile blew
them apart before they even know what hit them. As I said its a nasty
little piece of military hardware we have in the field these days.
