Flying in combat for over 20 years the MQ-1 Predator Drone has served with distinction but the Air Force felt the need to move to the MQ-9 Reaper for a multitude of reasons […]
You have to admit NASA knows how to produce a show! They recently tested their RS-25 rocket motor which will power the new Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and take American astronauts back into space aboard the Orion spacecraft.

Aerial application is a relatively obscure flying profession piloting large, single seat, turbine tailwheel airplanes. Add that attraction to legally strafing the ground low and fast, dozens, if not hundreds of times a day. The catch?
