New videos show Predators at work in Iraq

Quote
Pilots more than 7,000 away in Nevada, control the unmanned planes from their post at Nellis Air Force Base. Their sophisticated cockpits resemble a high-priced video game.

Predator crews, which have a pilot and sensor operator, run the craft 24 hours, rotating in three-hour shifts. Predator teams are trained to look for signs of insurgent activity such as the planting of roadside bombs.

If they reduce the weight standards, damn, 2/3's of the posters here will have new work!

Add in buffalo wings, fritos and other junk food and no one will be left in the main arena!

Me thinks that Aces High would be more fun that flying a predator drone.  Unless following a road on a black and white screen is fun to you...

If a toilet seat costs them $50 can you imagine what a color monitor would cost them?
