Construction: 2 meter staff with large white flag (US Army)

Purpose: Recon and Intelligence Gathering.

Operations : Uses same fuel cards as the black hawks use: 30 minute max flight time.

Pilot carries staff with flag flying freely.

The pilot can not land, except at base. Since it cant land, it cant deliver cards, bombs, or other props or supplies. Its only purpose is intelligence.

No guns or armaments - can not fire or be fired upon.

No passengers - only the pilot

Pilot must leave from own base and return to own base within 30 minutes - surrendering fuel card to base ref upon departure.

Flight path can not be within 300 feet of enemy base, or within 150 feet of any known enemy held structure or within 50 feet of any stationary enemy player.

Pilot may radio any discoveries - but NOT yell or verbably communicate to friendlies on the ground. His radio & eyes are his only weapon.

Pilot may not fly inside any roofed structure.

The pilot and minibird may not be used for cover (like a tank) by infantry.

Suggested uses: Spybird Pilot may fly ahead of Black Hawk providing intel to Blackbird chalk leader, Spybird may fly ahead of friendly mission ground forces sweeping for ambushes and enemy fortifications.
