That's actually the MQ-9 Reaper. It's the larger version of the MQ-1 Predator. You can tell the difference by the tail ...... the Reaper has an inverted tail as opposed to the Predator's similiar but staright-up V-tail.

Actually you got that backwards, the Predator has the inverted V-Tail, and the Reaper has the more traditional one.

Super shots Nitin and Vivek.

* Nitin - I agree, this is a pic to be proud of, the image is razor sharp

* Vivek - IMHO, the new livery doesn't look good at all on the 744s, I'd take the classic colors any day

I totally agree!! Ojas and I were just talking about this earlier in the day. The old colours are simply outstanding. Smile

Hope AI leaves atleast one of their 744s in the old livery till the end....
