Post by: Toad on February 08, 2005, 09:08:00 PM: New videos show Predators at work in Iraq (http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/02/08/predator.video/index.html)

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.
