The Teledyne Ryan AQM-34L Firebee was used as a low altitude photographic reconnaissance drone. Firebee UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) were air-launched and remote controlled from the DC-130 Hercules and amassed over 34,000 operational surveillance missions over Southeast Asia in the 60s and 70s. But the Firebee family began in the early 50s as one of the first jet-powered UAVs and still remains in use today #pimaairandspacemuseum. . . . #museum #tucson #arizona #aviation #c130 #firebee #aviati

Ryan AQM-34N In the mid-1960s the U.S. Air Force needed a system to conduct reconnaissance and gather intelligence without putting aircrews in danger. Ryan's proven Model 147 Firebee unmanned target drone, built in more than 20 variants, filled the requirement. The Model 147H, designated AQM-34N by the USAF, became operational with Strategic Air Command reconnaissance units in the late 1960s. #avgeek | National Museum of the U.S. Air Force
