UAV's are just about the hottest topic in the flying community, thanks for the update, and please keep them coming. Ever since the Vietnam war, UAV's and drones have played a significant role in air fighting strategy. Most don't know that thousands of recon drone flights were flown over North Vietnam, Laos, and China during and after the war. With great success. In fact the Son Tay raid that was (supposed) done to free American POW's had Firebee drones as an intergal part of the intel used for the planning and execution of the raid. Thanks to the raid several hundred Soviet and Warsaw pact advisors found themselves on the wrong end of 7.62 Miniguns. But that's another story.
