"The sources who spoke to CNN said the Hellfire missile was launched from an unmanned Predator aerial vehicle."

Ya know, as sim pilots we could do a good job flying those Predators:)

I would love to use my puter flying one well armed Predator. Just sit here in Kansas popping terroist halfway around the world. Bet the US military would provide a great joystick! American techology is just great, just great! Hey, how about a P-51D with 12 rockets modeled!! HTC, you may have some competition from the US military!

Let's add insult to injury and make it a Dallas Cowboys football.

The long-range, unmanned aircraft is able to loiter over a target for 24 hours,
providing still photographs or video footage that can be transmitted within six
seconds.

It is capable of reading traffic signs from 2.8 miles away and has been armed with
Hellfire air-to-surface missiles.
