I read this in the local news, sound like a good winter project!!!!lol

A fisherman has reported finding a military target practice drone about 60 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said.

The fisherman towed the device to the Holiday Isle Marina in Madeira Beach. Deputies and MacDill Air Force Base personnel are investigating.

The sheriff's office said the device, which is about 20 feet long and jet-propelled, does not contain any explosives and doesn't appear to pose any danger.

Great catch on a 640lb turbine

He will never keeo it...govt property.screw with it too much he may end up in jail.

I would have kept that thing lol. made a home built or something. lol

If the fisherman decides to learn to fly R/C jets with that bad boy, I suggest that everybody stands WAY BACK when he calls for "take off". Sure would liven things up at the field, though.

You'll have to hand launch it..no wheels.

I wonder if that falls under maritime salvage laws?

It sure look cool! You can put some retracts on it.
