How to scare the living crap out of local small wildlife How to scare the living crap out of local small furry wildlife eagle on steroides. NORWAY - YouTube The ornithopter is cool.....just don't go flying it near your local trap and skeet gun club : O

The police won't be shooting at the model warthog....they'll be shooting at the LOS remote operator of the Warthog. Better be well camouflaged with a low thermal signature....or well armed with Stingers! I like the Eagle, because it will be in play well after peak oil really starts biting. Thermals / updrafts are free! ; )
