And another drone bites the dust.....
It seems that Tyndall have lost yet another drone after a QF-4 crashed on take-off:
Unmanned QF-4 crashes at Tyndall
Another drone was also destroyed on 10 July when controllers were 'unable to land the aircraft'.

In one of the articles, I think the one last year either announcing that they are moving to QF-16's or that this was the last F-4 being converted to a QF-4,
it said how many they had left.
It wasn't many.
I'll see if I can find it.
Edit
The last one was converted in May 2013.
They also have some QF-4's that they fly themselves as chase planes so I suppose it depends on whether these will also end up being used as targets or kept as flyers.
