...heard that several times from my Lady Friends

burned up two hundred rounds in record time at the range today. Coming out, the guy behind the counter said "damn, mark- that was quick." I told him the same thing you posted above...*grin*

It's probably illegal for the Hawk to be used to take out Democrats. I suppose one can always hope.

For all those wanting a closer view of this baby, the USAF Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB
has a full-size replica in one of the hangars. The museum is undergoing some changes as a new hangar
is being added, so look for new goodies! Parking and admittance are free.
Gift shop is not ;)

Eventually, 50 of the planes will be produced for the Air Force.

Wow! Good news.

This is the one that they flew to Australia and it flew around down there and then came back to the USA.

No Pilot on board!

It is probably a good thing the Air Force is not union. Otherwise they would demand a pilot, a copilot and a navagator on this plane.

I think I would demand a stewardess too.

How far is Tehran from Iraq?

How far is N. Korea from Japan?

How far is Syria from airfields in Iraq?

How far is Cuba from South Florida?

This is just a little simple math for the thugs temporialy in control of these countries.

I remember seeing it at an open house there and other prototypes including a tear drop shaped smaller drone, Death Star perhaps.

Wonder what happened to the other prototypes?

"The first improvement should be mounting some missiles on it like the Predator/Hellfire."

I don't think the brass wants this bad boy down in the weeds where it'll be ripe for a shoot-down. I think that'll still be the Predator's job. The GH modifications will probably be laser and GPS guided bomber capability for immediate strikes on the targets it finds from high altitude.
