More than a paint job, work begins to make RQ-4 Global Hawk more efficient
Work is underway to make a spy plane more efficient, according to a Robins Air Froce Base Facebook post.
The RQ-4 Global Hawk — the first unmanned aircraft to land at Robins or any other Air Force air logistics complex — flew in by remote control the early morning of May 24.
The aircraft is undergoing a specialized organic paint job designed to help prevent corrosion and improve its efficiency.
The work is being done at the Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex.
Also, the Museum of Aviation has a RQ-4A Global Hawk on display.
