Looks like the stealth Bomber? Cool landing. Rocking seas: night landings?

the plane must not be that different from all others.
the controllers should not account for $250M but i could be wrong.

anyone has numbers($) on this aircraft?

I'm not sure if this was remote controlled. From my understanding that this was a autonomous landing...and it grabbed the second wire, too. Flawless.

The Hierarchy took over a few Toyota's a few years back and crashed them killing some people and in turn making Toyota look like shit...They blamed floor mats and some other shit but no doubt these things were hacked into by the Hierarchy...

It's intended to be all-weather and day/night. They are being developed to be able to do 24/7 "orbits" from the carrier.

As for price....there isn't anything out there for per unit cost as there are only a handful in service for testing. The total program cost is around 1 billion. 

I'd say it will be a bit under your 250M number but the Global Hawk costs about 150M per copy, clean, and about 200M when you add in R&D cost. The Predator costs about 5M per copy.

Either way, that's a bargain.
