by me, my station was port side aft by the fire suppresion unit, we were there in case the drone failed or the jato bottle blew up...we lost over 6 drones 1 by hostile fire and 5 by mechanical or software problems...we hovered over the IRAQI and KUWAIT coast and a 21 year old kid flew it like a model airplane..the plane was made by pioneer aviation...in ISRAEL.......
