escondidoron Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Like the pic. Where did you find it? Predator Bs look pretty cool in the Thunderbird livery. http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5104/5645542756_0ef131a9e1_b.jpg Edited February 2, 2012 by escondidoron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 The picture came to me in an email. I'm sure this is a photoshopped picture but do you think the remote pilots would be capable of flying them in close formation without collisions?

escondidoron Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I seriously doubt it. It would be extremely difficult to fly multiple UAVs in the tight formations that the service teams fly in. It is not the kind of mission that they are designed for. But if you're stuck on a remote hillside in the middle of the night with bad guys surrounding and trying to get at you while you're waiting for daylight so that a Blackhawk team can get in to rescue you, these are precisely the kind of aircraft that you want flying top cover.
