[MilCom] NASA has a Predator?

[Larry Van Horn]

Joe I did a bit more research on your NASA 870 and have posted it on my 
Btown Blog at 
http://monitor-post.blogspot.com/2007/08/nasa-has-predator.html.

NASA Dryden has had quite a few UAV aircraft over the years with this one 
coming online in 2003. You can see a complete photo collection of all the 
Dryden aircraft at http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Photo/.

Great intercept Joe and thanks for the add-on to my NASA aircraft list.
