Photographer’s Note

The MQ-9 Reaper is a medium-to-high altitude, long endurance unmanned aircraft system. The MQ-9's primary mission is as a persistent hunter-killer against emerging targets to achieve joint force commander objectives. The MQ-9's alternate mission is to act as an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance asset, employing sensors to provide real-time data to commanders and intelligence specialists at all levels.

Hi Derrick,
Symmetric composition and head on view works well. I see objective of unmanned aircrafts lead to quite different design than usual. It's like a big nasty insect.

hello derrick ,
does this flying killer make the diference between civilians and the so called (terrorists)?
i believe the same type of this unmanned aircraft are used in pakistan and hundreds of civilans including shildren got killed.
