Default RE: UAS

From what I understand, they paid Zilch for the whole thing, being a "partner" with Boeing.

You ought to see the way they "land" the thing!! They have a long line stringer that they fly the wing into and it gets "snagged" on the line on either the left or the right wing. I think there is a video around someplace.. I'll put a link to it.

The FAA is looking within the organization for pilots to train for the thing and I'm on the list!!!

PS: I uploaded a second picture in the original post showing how they "recover" the UAS.
