Hmmm...unless they classify the images as secret, this will give US scenery devs an unfair advantage over our Rob :( :angry:

LOL, the PR department clearly got a hold of that press release before it went out, e.g... (my emphasis)

The Global Hawk is an impressive capability that has provided assistance in humanitarian aid and disaster relief missions and security and stability operations worldwide. It has also been used in the United States domestically to identify wildfire hotspots.
