The annoying thing about drones is they go on and on and on. :drink3:

If anyone would pay me half as much as that group looking for Amelia I would do it! Guaranteed!

We have Quad rotor drones available.

I bit too. I figured it wasn't out of the realm of possibility. Here is a Navy drone in 1943 undergoing testing in Traverse City, MI.

It's not gonna' work, Lex.

At your age, you'd probably wander off and the crabs would get you. :axe:

Why April Fool? Archibald Low's flying bomb goes back to WWI and Queen Bee drones go back to the 1930s, so I'm sure the Japanese did work on these too.

So can anyone add anything of substance? It seems a topic worthy of discussion and not an April Fool's joke at all.
