My father and i were presented that at our bike shop 15 days later my dad passed away from cancer so it means the world to me
 
moparstyle...were you in iraq during that time? I was just down the road from Balad at FOB Warhorse.

The predator was likely supporting a mission I was on. :usflag:
 
There’s no pressure extremes from going way up& down often. I like that you got the flag though, Semper Fi.
 
Please say there going to auction it off ! Never thought about owning one till about 2 mins ago!
 
are they being replaced with a newer model
 
It's public info, so I'll condense it for you.

MQ-1B Predator A has been in a phase out/sustainment state for a few years. MQ-1C Grey Eagles (Diesel version, slightly bigger, more HP, more payload) and GE-ER Grey Eagle Extended Range have replaced them. MQ-9 Reaper/ Pred-B is the bread and butter of the weaponized recon. Turbo-Prop with a great payload capacity. The Pred-A did its job, and did it superbly, is it just time to hand it off to a similar platform (Grey Eagle) with much better capabilities at roughly the same price point.

Trust me, we're not giving anything up.
