Gas .. Fuel .. JP-4/5 .. I don't no But the stuff that keeps the engines going .. the range , pretty Helicopters all we need is weapons on them but they are still going thru an evaluation .. Crew members only on board ..tried to get a ride home...

This next year .. i'll be there with a vengence .

You make an interesting point Andrew. There is NO specific rules or even guidance in place for UAV operations other than those provided for RC hobby aircraft. The use of a UAV at Wellington airport, during the Rugby world cup, raised a lot of issues. Keep an eye out for a press statement coming from NZALPA (NZ Pilots assoc) regarding UAV's. The potential problem is not dissimilar to cheap laser pointers. They are unnecessarily readily available to the public (even class 3 that are banned in most other countries) and some idiots think it is a great idea to illuminate aircraft. As...

It would be great if you could replicate that in Flight Sim with the smoke etc would certainly be a hard one to beat /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif />
