"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!
