MQ-9 Drone coming to Fairford
Thread Starter
Nearly 4hrs later and it still hasn't landed! Just circling over Fairford over and over, after a flypast of sorts in Herefordshire. I wonder how long it can keep going ?

It felt quite a bit different talking to ‘it’ knowing the aircraft was unmanned and you were talking to a pilot sat on the ground.
it can stay airborne for over 48hrs, so this flight was easy for it.

Wow! 48hrs, that must be one incredibly efficient engine....Yes, the ATC aspect must be strange, in a few years you'll be talking to an AI computer somewhere ;-)
