Is this the UAV type?


http://www.drum.army.mil/sites/postnews/blizzard/blizzard_archives/news.asp?id=5&issuedate=3-31-2005
The Raven UAV is not equipped with landing gear. Each time it
lands, the Raven will glide down and impact the ground, causing
damage each time it lands. To conserve parts and money for
repairs, the 2-14 Infantry Raven team has brought about a new
technique for landing without causing the UAV damage. McGee said
they simply catch the aircraft like a football.

It will be interesting to see if it is found within restricted
airspace or not.

And if you happen to spot it out your windshield, duck!

That reminds me of my days at White Sands Missile Range. Sometimes
missiles would take off out of the restricted area without saying
goodbye. If you're ever around an Army restricted area where they're
testing stuff, give it a wide berth.

And what of Sir Richard Branson and his planned "Spaceport" in New Mexico?

As if it isn't enough of a hassle to deal with SUA and TFRs generated by
Uncle Sugar, now we'll get TFRs from the "private sector" too.

Yeah, they qualify too...

But they don't take up the volume of airspace that a space launch would
probably take.
