I was in Mojave two weeks ago talking to these folks: Welcome to Flight Research, Inc.

They are going to provide a jet to us during our drops of a new UAS, we call Wingman, at China Lake next year. We are going to use her Draken.

Nadia was great and walked me down the ramp to SC. The place reeked of goodness.

That's awesome. Any organization with a fleet of airplanes, particularly including two Saab Drakens, is ok by me.

A squadron of them. When I grow up, I want to work on neat airplanes and UAS's.
