A predator drone is a surveillance or bombing vehicle with no pilot and no ability to shoot down other planes what-so-ever. This is dumb. It might as well say “Who is the kid with the submarine”
As an avid member of the radio controlled model airplane community I find this cartoon very disturbing. We are at risk of being heavily regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) because of the perceived threat of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) such as the Predator as well as high powered versions of our own models being used by terrorists. Your cartoon makes light of a very serious threat to safety and lives of innocent people and weakens our position that safety is paramount to all other concerns.
You couldn’t be expected to be aware of this situatioin unless you are a fellow modeler. However, I ask for the sake of all of us who are safe modelers that you refrain from using this line of humor in the future.

He’s the kid that doesn’t like to share. Not even the skies.

He’s the kid that keeps getting picked on so he takes his revenge in whatever way he can establish his superiority. ;-)

Night-Gaunt49, they carry ground-attack missiles. They don’t carry air-to-air missiles. Not the same thing at all.
