The MQ-1C is the Army version of the Predator. Photos taken on 9/11/2009 under the watchful eye of General Atomics security. ;-)

It looks like the El Mirage facility is strictly Army these days. The USAF and other agencies are used the Gray Butte facility a few miles away.

Cool pics

I drive by So Cal Logistics airport everyday to go to work, and have seen these guys flying around in the mornings quite a bit.

Kind of a startling sight if your not expecting to see one!

Neat stuff Gariac! Have you read into the MQ-X program yet? I don't won't to sound like a baby but those UCAVs seem like such uuh toys to me. I would never want to be on the receiving end of one of them armed with a hellfire missile, but I love pure fighter power under the control of a highly trained pilot who knows how to dog the sh@t out of his aircraft. KEEP UP the good work my friend.
