Off topic again but this is just too cool...
Global Hawk
[img]cid:001c01c78b5b$09e536d0$6902a8c0(at)SWRMediaCenter[/img]
A pic of the Global Hawk UAV that returned from Iraq on Monday under its own power. (Iraq to Edwards AFB in CA) - Not transported via C5 or C17. Notice the mission paintings on the fuselage. It's actually over 250 missions. That's a long way for a remotely-piloted aircraft. Think of the technology (and the required quality of the data link to fly it remotely). Not only that but the pilot controlled it from a nice warm control panel at Edwards AFB. It has really long legs - - -it can stay up for almost 2 days at altitudes above 60k.

"That's a long way for a remotely-piloted aircraft. Think of the

required quality of the data link to fly it remotely). "
I know a retired 747 captain that said eventually the pilot inside a
commercial airliner would be housed inside a glass tube with a little
sticker on the outside which reads "Break glass in the event of an
emergency"

And also thank the mission guys (and Gals) at Nellis that work wierd, long, hours. I'm truly amazed at what they do. Heck, I had enough trouble with an R/C airplane I could see, much less control one on the other side of the globe. Kudos, Guys & Gals, and you know who you are!!!
