Like any skeet/trap shooter ever watches CNN.

ADMIN NOTE:  The drone posts from the NASA WB-57F and Iran threads were merged into this one.  As they were transferred based on their time stamp, CH's original post for this thread is now on page 3 (sorry CH!).  A link to this was added to those threads.  ~ M2

The NASA WB-57F aircraft made the news after it was revealed that it took part in collecting data on Drone Swarms off the coast of Virginia in the vicinity of Joint Base Langley. The WB-57 has probably one of the longest service careers in the US Military, it was originally a licensed built bomber from Martin Aircraft and based on the English Electric Canberra and was one of the first US jet aircraft to drop bombs in combat. It found a new life as a Reconnaissance platform and continuously modified over the years in programs such as SECOND SLICE/RIVET SLICE, TROPIC MOON and RIVET RAP. The WB-57F bears little resemblance to the original design with TF33 Turbofans and new, outer enlarged wing sections. After being retired from the USAF, a handful of aircraft were donated to NASA for use in atmospheric research. 

As to the Drone Swarms, there is little to say about that story and will probably soon disappear from the news altogether!

As to that last paragraph, boy was I wrong! 
What a difference a year makes!
