Ok, so I had a few friends over at the weekend and I asked them if they'd mine posing for me. Needless to say, they did.
The RQ-1 Predator is a medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle system. The Predator is a system, not just an aircraft. The fully operational system consists of four air vehicles (with sensors), a ground control station, a Predator primary satellite link communication suite and 55 people. ..
MQ-1 Predator, serial 99-0057, operated by the newly-activated 432nd Wing at Creech AFB (the former Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Field, in the desert near Nellis). This specific airframe already has 250,000 hours of flight time on it.
Otherwise known as the Hippie Predator from Predator 2. He appeared with the Elder and the other Lost Hunters at the end of the movie.
I ain't got time to bleed.
The lad and I thought it'd be cool to get some shots in the style of classic movies. To kick that project off I've chosen Predator *although clearly Lex hasn't seen that he was quiet happy to dress up in army fatigues for the shoot.
Not a good picture, but it shows a lot of the parts I picked up. I adore the boxy look of this carb - it's a shame I don't have anything to put it on.
These speed parts were used on (or kept as spares) for the cars Jeff raced from 1977 through 1987 (particularly on the 1982 Camaro below, I'm told): www.racingsportscars.com/driver/photo/Jeff-Loving-USA.html
The final home game for the Orlando Predators and the final sporting event at the Amway Arena. Orlando beat the Oklahoma City Yard Dawgz 49-21 to clinch a playoff spot.

Anyone know what type of wasp or hornet this is?

History of the MQ-1B "Predator"
The MQ-1 "Predator" is a medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial system (UAS) that was employed primarily to collect intelligence and secondarily to engage enemy targets. Beginning its service with the Army in 1995 and later used by the U.S. Air Force, the MQ-1 was deployed in every major U.S. conflict during this period until its retirement in 2018. The MQ-1's capabilities made it uniquely qualified to conduct irregular warfare operations.
The Predator was part of a remotely piloted aircraft system. A fully operational system consisted of four aircraft, ground control station, Predator Primary Satellite Link, and spare equipment, along with operations and maintenance crews for deployed 24-hour missions. A Predator crew consisted of a pilot to control the aircraft and command the mission, an aircrew member to operate sensors and weapons, and a mission coordinator, when required.
The Predator and Hill Air Force Base
In 2004, the U.S. Air Force used the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR) to assess the Predator's ability to strike a moving target with munitions. Crew members guided the drone remotely from Indian Springs, Nevada, and struck two moving tanks with Hellfire missiles. Because of this testing, the Predator was later used in combat to engage enemy targets. The Ogden Air Logistics Complex at Hill also provided software development and sustainment in support of the MQ-1 when in active service. Extensive UAS activities continue today on the UTTR with several different services and platforms.
The MQ-18 on display first flew on 31 January 2005, and was later assigned to Indian Springs Auxiliary Field, Nevada. During its service life, this Predator took part in combat sorties in Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. After flying 28,069 hours and over 1,600 combat sorties, it retired from service in 2017 and was delivered to the Hill Aerospace Museum for display in 2020.
