Facebook had one of their Aquila UAV's crash back in June. Here is what they look like:

Which begs the question, what gets stenciled under the canopy rail?

Notwithstanding that's not what the term "begging the question" actually means (it doesn't mean "raise the question" or "which leads me to wonder..."), there have been much more bizarre kill markings put on Strike Eagles, so I'm sure they'll figure out something appropriate.

Here are a couple from one of my trips to OEF:

In this jet, the JTAC called down the thunder on a herd of cows where a squirter was hiding out (and what was drawn below and to the right was....censored....):

And on this jet, we see the results of a jet that broke from its tie-downs during a big sandstorm and took out a light-all on the ramp:

I didn't want to be a buzzkill and point that out...so just waited for the Air Force to do it. :D

("Begging the question" is a form of circular logic where you assume to be true whatever you're trying to prove with your argument. "Gingers are ugly, because red hair and pale skin are unattractive.')
