Got this pic in an email. There was some attached text, that I don't think applies so I left it out. The pic however is amazing.

What I thought was interesting on the one I got was all the mission markings on the side of it.

IMO its front end looks like the head of the beast in the "Alien" movie series.

IDCrewDawg, the first pic is kinda low-res, so what exactly do those markings look like?
They seem to be different - 4-5 sorts of them at least. Why?

Different kinds of targets, looks like there is radar, tank, and a few others. Like I said, got it in an email. The text of the message was talking about the distance capabilities, found it interesting, but don't know how much fact there was, so I disguarded it. What I did find interesting is the mission markings.

Hell, I zoomed in and saw those markings. What is amazing is the sheer number of them! I wonder if they signify missions or kills?

kills with what, snypa777? It has no weapons. Besides, where would you find so much hardware in the last few years? And that only for this single plane?
Must be missions...

Well, there is more than one way to skin a Cat, hehe. LOB`s knows what I mean. A lot of sensors on that thing, a little designation here, a little targeting there, for something else to apply the finishing touch!!!! You don`t have to launch something to kill it, somebody else can do that.....

I would claim that as a kill! Hard kill or soft Wink Afghanistan is a busy place nowadays along with Iraq. On the hardware theme, we don`t really know how old the picture is...2003 vintage anyone????

The E-Mail that this was attached in talked about the aircraft returning to the states under its own power, and the F-22 being amazing in some test confrontations. It didn't mention when all this occurred.

A global hawk flew from California to Australia not too long ago.
