UAV's first flight sucks

The maiden flight of the U.S. Air Force's newest Unmanned Aerial Vehicle ended in tragedy this week when the much larger escort aircraft approached too close to the tiny unmanned aircraft.  The UAV was sucked into the escort aircraft's engine and scatter across New Mexico.  Although the accident was a major setback for the service's unmanned vehicle program, senior Air Force officials said it could have been much worst had they decided to simultaneously test the new UAV Puppy Pilot Program.
