(June 16, 2006) - David Hilliard, a Boeing mechanic operator, retrieves a Boeing Scan Eagle Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) from a skyhook, a small suspended rope that catches the UAV out of mid-air, during the training exercise Desert Talon 2-06 onboard Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS).

It weighs 40 lbs and has a ten-foot wingspan. It is invisible to radar and is barely audible once within 50
