haven’t seen much on the Turk invasion of iraq this week. The US Army and Airforce have cleared out of the airspace so as to not interfere, and U2s are providing intel to the Turks.
I did an awful lot of different things in my lifetime with the military R&D, but I have one regret.
I never was associated with UAV operations. I did weather support for them in their early development, but never got to see them fly or the data they sent back. UAV’s are cool, IMHO.
Still, it has been a super life,
AHHH, well....

I just had the idea of the century:
Remember the family of 4 that were caught in the woods by a snow storm this week? They were rescued after 3 nights in the snow.
They had a couple of cell phones with them, but alas, no cell relays.
What about putting a cell phone relay in a global hawk, and when somebody is lost, simply fly it over the area at 60,000 ft and call them? Bet it would work.
Comments?
