US-IMMIGRATION-PREDATOR
The new MQ-9 Predator B, an unmanned surveillance aircraft system, unveiled by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), taxies along the runway as an Army A-10 Warthog flys overhead at Libby Army Airfield, Ft. Huachuca 30 October 2006 in Sierra Vista, Arizona. CBP will use the new MQ-9 Predator aircraft to patrol the southern border of the United Sates in order to stop the illegal entry of thousands of Mexican nationals and drug runners who use the vast expanses of the Sonoran desert to cross daily into southern Arizona. The new unarmed plane flew briefly for the press to show off its surveillance capabilities by pilots of the contractor, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems. The Predator will start full scale flight operations along the Mexico-Arizona border beginning 30 October 2006.
