7/11: Global Hawk recon plane

Pretty cool-looking aircraft. This is the U.S. made DRONE Global Hawk presented at a French airshow. It's a "high-altitude, long endurance unmanned aerial reconnaissance system designed to provide military field commanders with high resolution imagery of large geographic areas."

Unmanned - so if one flies along the China border and gets bumped by a Chinese pilot, there won't be any sorrys or negotiations needed.
