Ahhh - I see - true.
But if a NASA test pilot found flying a civilian version of the Predator challenging:

...then I suspect our talib friends would find that or the larger more sophisticated Reaper near impossible.
Automatic weapons, RPGs, Humvees, Landcruisers, tanks etc... sure.
But air assets of any kind?
Any pilots would likely be press-ganged at gunpoint I would have thought.
