Out on a Tuesday morning at 0430hrs. Back home Thursday 0220hrs. Still bright white.
Longest duration I have seen to date was 46hrs.
Still have as many PISR as we do B-2s, and do not forget that they are air to air refuel capable.
Onto NGAD & NG going ahead for the USN effort. People forget that the X-47B had a manned offshoot, a bigger, more capable variant. NG also had everything they needed for the slower flying USN next generation airframe. A lot like the ATA offering that could have been pride of place of the fleet, instead of the horrific slaughterhouse of careers that was the A-12 Avenger ii.
