#1 Now what they need is a drone refueler. The advantages of such an aircraft are many.

#2 ...Has anyone seen the trailer for the upcoming flick, "Stealth" yet?
It's been done a few dozen times before - robot weapon goes berserk while dashing young heroes defeat it - but there is a great scene when the wepaons bay doors open up and a rotary launcher - seemingly carrying every air-launched weapon in the inventory - pops out, spins, and drops into place with all the smoothness and flair of a gunslinger bringing his pistol out.

That is what the drones need to look like.

#4 Mike,

Does it fire a beam of pure antiprotons? Now, that would be cool.
