New congress, same old tune, inaccurate
Is there any new information on how these UAVs identify themselves to
other aircraft? Do they carry a transponder that a PCAS could pick up?
Is their position known to ATC? In other words, do we know better now
how they fit in with "see and be seen"?

Compared to a 1,000 lb glider, a 30,000 lb fully-fueled Predator is a

about the incident where a stray Predator shut down Tucson airspace
before auguring into someone's back yard near Nogales a year or so
ago. And there have been plenty of other crashes and mishaps.
No, it's us and our dangerous gliders that need more restrictions!
