Unmanned aircraft crashes in Maryland, no injuries reported | Fox News (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/06/11/coast-guard-unmanned-navy-aircraft-crashes-in-us/)I'll betcha it was tallying a count of eastern shore mountain lions.

I saw it a few minutes ago.

Before it went down...:shocking:

44 foot Navy unmanned aircraft, I'll guess BAMS for $1000 alex.

Any word on the crew?

Any word on the crew?

They are being subjected to a serious ass chewing and debrief about what went wrong right about now.

Any word on the crew?

I heard they ejected.

Maybe a farmer shot it down thinking it was an EPA UAV??? :whistle:

CNN is now repoting as "Breaking" news.
Perhaps it is not a RQ-4A Global Hawks drone, rather a CRAB....Chesapeake Regional Area Bogie!!!! :jameo:

CNN had it but not the local news? Well, at least Channel 4 isn't saying anything. :shrug: I guess they got the to much DC body count and corrupt politicians to talk about.

I heard they ejected.

well theres the cause, they should not be masturbating when they are flying.

seriously though, when a drone goes down, does the guy controlling it jump out of his chair before it crashes?

Maybe a pot farmer shot it down thinking it was an DEA UAV??? :whistle:

Fixed that for you...

I think that the cat-o-copter took it out.

The aircraft is one of five aircraft acquired from the Air Force Global Hawk program. The BAMS-D program has been developing tactics and doctrine for the employment of high-altitude unmanned patrol aircraft since November 2006.
