Military drone washes ashore Boynton Beach

A subscale drone from the U.S. Air Force that is used as an aerial target during weapons training washed ashore Boynton Beach Friday morning.

Some poor guy has probably been combing that beach for 20 years with a metal detector hoping to find something cool and the day he takes a day off from the beach, this shows up

It’s funny how they just “ lose track of millions of dollars of taxpayer money” and can’t find it but can find me in two seconds if I do my taxes wrong lol

This is the reason I own a pick up truck with a winch!

1:55 “The Air Force is trying to figure out how to remove it”
1. Build a mock up
2. Practice removing it
3. Create a binder with the play by play
4. Make up a code name.
5. Synchronize watches
6. Put the plan into action

I would've taken that thing home so fast lol

[melted_cheetah]

That’s where my RC plane landed, thanks for finding it!

[dgracias]

Damn! That would have made for a great backyard lawn ornament 🙄

[permafredperma]

I heard it was a bomb so I thought how can I get closer and take a pic....hahaha

[rainman]

finder's keepers...where is a saddle and a man with guts when you need them.

[royrogers]

Dude: Someone told us there was a bomb on the beach. So I wanted to get closer to take some pictures.

[SuperAgentman]

It’s a targeting drone not a bomb i’ve seen those before

[CajunLady]

Can you imagine? Momma! Daddy! Look what I found. LOL

[SkyBaum]

How it washed ashore?! Really it's called a current dude. Lol

If you're wondering about the bright color, it's camouflage and this bird was flying missions over Fluorescentistan.

When I was in the Navy I used to see these type of things get launched all the time from the base in VA, then a moment later followed by our fighter jets. Basically target practice. Was always fun to watch. Just search this in Youtube to see what it was in action - USAF Aerial Target Drones • BQM-167A Prep & Launch -

More than 10 people out there pulling and tugging even with a 4 wheeler 😂😂😂 I'm Mexican so just 4 of my friends would of had that out the water in no time 😂😂😂

U.S. Air Force BQM-167A target drone washes on shore. Powered by a MicroTurbo TR 60-5 turbojet engine producing 1, 000 pounds of thrust, the BQM-167A can fly at speeds up to Mach 0.91 and at altitudes between 50 feet and 50, 000 feet. It’s also agile, being able to maneuver at up to 9G.

Probably thought it would sink in the ocean and become an artificial reef for aquatic life. The guy making a statement kinda looks like Matthew McConaughey.

[taalboss]

They lucky I didn't find it, I would have put that thing on the roof of my truck and be flying down I-95 South to Hialeah to sell it 🤣🤣🤣🤣
