Look out from above....I know it's an airborne saying but 24 hour air support would increase the ability to those in need..




It’s called the X-47B, the Navy’s carrier-launched drone or unmanned combat air vehicle. The tail-less, jet-powered drone which first flew in 2011 is a demonstrator that has successfully taken off from and landed on the deck of several aircraft carriers, including the USS George H.W. Bush. And now, the X-47B has just passed another milestone — a major step in proving this could be the battlefield-ready aircraft that never has to land.

Defensetech reports that the Navy has conducted the first successful aerial refueling of the X-47B off the coast of Maryland. This mid-air refueling is another critical achievement in proving the drone’s operational capability.

While America moves forward in super technology I could not help thinking as I watched the video we are still pulling up to the pump and saying, "fill er' up Mac" like we did in the 1930's. Someday liquid fuel with be a thing of the past and the sooner the better.
