10/15/2008 - An armed MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle sits in a shelter on Joint Base Balad, Iraq, Oct. 15, 2008, prior to a mission. Larger and more powerful than the MQ-1 Predator, the Reaper can carry up to 3,750 pounds of laser-guided bombs and Hellfire missiles. The Reaper is assigned to the 46th Expeditionary Reconnaissance and Attack Squadron. (DoD photo by Tech. Sgt. Erik Gudmundson, U.S. Air Force/Released)

Is our Darkstar working on Predators or Reapers?  Very cool UAV.

Actually we don't get thirty hours of flight out of the Reaper when it is fully loaded.  But it is sure nice to watch those LGB's drop!!
